Why a Consideration of Race Is Important to Medical School Admissions
Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics
(2021)
Abstract
The tremendous toll that COVID-19 has taken on this country’s minority population is the most recent reminder of the health disparities between people of color and people who classify themselves as white. There are many reasons for these disparities, but one that gets less attention than it deserves is the lack of physicians of color available to treat patients of color.
