Given that holistic admissions and holistic review are increasingly adopted in healthcare professional programs, there will be more future health professionals from diverse backgrounds entering the healthcare workforce. However, getting these students to enroll in healthcare professional programs is only the first step before they become licensed healthcare professionals. Their experiences in clinical workplaces can easily play a role in whether they will continue their journeys as healthcare professionals and/or impact their future decisions when they eventually enter the healthcare workforce. After all, clinical rotations are vital components for all healthcare professional students to gain valuable clinical experiences before they become licensed professionals. Each of us should do what we can for all healthcare professional students, especially those from diverse backgrounds, to ensure they have safe workplace environments to develop their clinical skills.
