title: A race/ethnic comparison of career attainments in healthcare management--2002. Recommendations.
abstract: In 2002, the American College of Healthcare Executives--in collaboration with the Association of Hispanic Healthcare Executives, the Executive Leadership Development Program of the Indian Health Service, the Institute for Diversity in Health Management, and the National Association of Health Services Executives--conducted a comprehensive survey that compared the career attainments of healthcare executives by race/ethnicity. The findings, which were published in the November/December 2003 issue of Healthcare Executive and are available online at www.ache.org/pubs/research/research.cfm, showed that minorities continue to lag behind Whites in several areas, including total median compensation, senior-level job obtainment, and job satisfaction. In response to these continuing inequities, the Board of Governors of the American College of Healthcare Executives recommends the following initiatives.
