摘要

Background

Within the academic health sciences, scholars from racially and ethnically minoritized backgrounds continue to remain underrepresented. Establishing institutional partnerships is one strategy that has accumulated evidence as a mechanism to diversify the academic health sciences and professionals within the health care system. Despite the evidence supporting institutional partnerships, guidance on implementing these partnerships is lacking within existing literature. The present study synthesizes existing literature and provides best practices for implementing institutional partnerships.

Methods

A pre-registered scoping review examined evidence-based strategies to advance racial equity, reduce institutional racism, and increase the recruitment, retention, and promotion of faculty, staff, and students of color. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were screened, and cross-cutting elements for establishing institutional partnerships were extracted.

Results

Of a total of 5578 articles that were screened and 366 that were reviewed, 6 articles were relevant to establishing institutional partnerships. Institutional partnerships that successfully diversified the academic health sciences were grouped into 3 categories: institutional partnerships between historically white institutions and minority serving institutions, institutional partnerships to create career advancement opportunities, and institutional partnerships as a form of resource sharing. Best practices for establishing institutional partnerships were identified.

Conclusions

These best practices offer a hopeful path for ensuring a diverse workforce in health care. Methodological weaknesses of existing literature were highlighted, providing guidelines and direction for future research.
