Throwing together a quick chart, I compiled the WOC characters (with lines and have some impact on story lines) who are working in the hospital in whatever capacity across seasons 1 and 2, and should have a reason to return each season if the writing actually accommodated it.

Realistically Noelle won't be back since her and Robby were officially done at the end of S2, Joy was confirmed to be in maybe an episode or 2 so she could be thrown in the gone category for how little presence she'll have, Shamsi by default has to take a reduced role (if she's even included at all) with Javadi having a reduced role for S3.

Side note: in both Seasons 1 and 2 we had 4 WOC as part of the main cast:

S1: Collins, Mohan, Santos, Javadi

S2: Mohan, Santos, Javadi, Al-Hashimi

Unless they have someone else joining that they haven't announced yet we are officially down to 3 being in the main cast

the patterns are patterning here and the pitt is definitely keeping realism alive by treating the woc (and especially the black women) as disposable
