Capers et al strategies for achieving diversity through medical school admissions

1. Craft an admissions mission/vision statement that speaks to diversity enhancement and keep the statement highly visible at all times.	5. Blind interviewers to academic metrics.
2. Make voting anonymous with an audience response system.	6. Have the committee take the implicit association test and review aggregate results.
3. Put together a sizable group of faculty application screeners to minimize the impact of individual biases.	7. Remove photos from files when discussing applicants.
4. Adopt holistic review.	8. Appoint women, minorities, and younger people (groups with less implicit racial bias) to admission committees.
