ABSTRACT
The singular label of "Asian" obscures socioeconomic differences between Asian ethnic groups that affect matriculation into the field of medicine. Using data from American Board of Family Medicine Examination candidates in 2023, we found that compared to the US population, among Asian-American family physicians, Indians were present at higher rates, while Chinese and Filipinos were underrepresented, suggesting the importance of continued disaggregation of Asian ethnicities in medicine.
