The AAMC Holistic Review Project recently published, Roadmap to Diversity:  Key Legal and Educational Policy Foundations for Medical Schools.  Authored by Art Coleman and his colleagues, nationally recognized experts in providing legal and policy guidance to higher education institutions, the publication was produced to help medical schools align admissions to mission and establish and implement institution-specific, diversity-related policies that will advance their core educational goals with minimal legal risk. Designed to bring together all of the parties within a medical school whose collaboration is crucial to making diversity a reality, this hands-on document presents the legal underpinnings for developing diversity policies and programs. It also contains two important tools: an institutional diversity self-assessment checklist and an action plan template. The AAMC is encouraging each medical school to use this publication to guide collaboration and discussions among its institutional leadership; curriculum deans and faculty; admissions, minority affairs, financial aid, and recruitment officers; legal counsel; students; and others engaged in and affected by diversity-related issues.  A PDF is available free of charge at:   https://services.aamc.org/Publications/showfile.cfm?file=version109.pdf&prd_id=219&prv_id=275&pdf_id=10
