The advent of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a pertinent reminder of the struggles that individuals in our society have undergone to obtain freedom and opportunity. The field of healthcare has not been immune to these issues and struggles; we are still recovering from them as a society. The following articles in our Diversity Series address the issue of diversity in healthcare, as documented by research, and various interventions that have been taken to increase diversity within healthcare professions such as pharmacy and medicine. These articles serve as a reminder that, although much has been achieved, there is still plenty to be done in increasing opportunities for underserved populations.
