The presence of minority healthcare professionals is crucial in addressing barriers to healthcare access and disparities in health outcomes experienced by underrepresented populations. Despite some progress, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans continue to be underrepresented in healthcare professions. Lacking diversity contributes to challenges in providing equitable healthcare services, as patients are more likely to delay or avoid care when they cannot find providers who understand their beliefs, culture, or life circumstances. About 60% of the largest healthcare professions are dominated by White individuals, concerns persist regarding equitable access to healthcare services and the need to promote diversity and inclusion within the profession. This study aims to address the gap in comprehensive research on the retention of minority healthcare professionals by investigating key factors influencing retention through a targeted literature review. By identifying and leveraging these factors, tailored strategies and interventions can be developed to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment within healthcare systems, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for marginalized communities and retention rates in the United States. Conclusion: Limited research in healthcare retention, specifically in minority healthcare workers, decreases the ability to promote a positive work environment, reduced turnover, and job satisfaction.
