Description

Four focus groups were conducted with LEND trainees who identified as racially or ethnically diverse. The groups aimed at identifying how trainees selected a career path in maternal and child health care professions, how they are supported in their LEND programs, and their recommendations for how LEND programs can better recruit and support racially and ethnically diverse trainees. Feedback was analyzed and recommendations for recruitment and retention strategies were compiled.
