ABSTRACT
Otolaryngology continues to have one of the lowest percentages of black physicians of any surgical specialty, a number than has not improved in recent years. The history of exclusion of black students in medical education as well as ongoing bias affecting examination scores, clerkship grades and evaluations, and honors society acceptance of black students may factor into the disproportionately low number of black otolaryngology residents. In order to increase the number of black physicians in otolaryngology, intentional steps must be taken to actively recruit, mentor, and train black physicians specializing in otolaryngology.
