Institutional partnerships: results from a scoping review of promising strategies to promote diversity within the academic health sciences.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWithin 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.
methodsA 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.
resultsOf 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.
conclusionsThese 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.
