URM students comprised nearly 12% of graduates, and this proportion did not change over time (2002\u20132017). URMs included Hispanic (5.7%), Black (3.2%), and others, including multi-racial and indigenous American populations (2.8%). Overall, 82.3% of all graduates accepted academic positions at the time of graduation with significantly more Hispanic graduates electing to go into academia (89.2%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). URM graduates were more likely to be single (OR\u2009=\u20091.38; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05), have a dependent (1.95; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.01), and not receive full tuition remission (OR\u2009=\u20091.37; P\u2009=\u2009.05) as a student. URM graduates accepting an academic position were less likely to be a graduate of a private institution (OR\u2009=\u20090.70; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion and Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The proportion of URM candidates among biomedical informatics doctoral graduates has not increased over time and remains low.
