Diversity improved in this years Class
A little more information on the diversity of this year’s Medical School class.
The number of black and Hispanic males applying to US medical schools increased more than 9 percent in 2007. This data comes from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Among black men, the enrollment rate increased this fall by 5.3 percent, which was more than twice the rate of first-year entrants overall.
More than 42,300 people applied to enter medical school in 2007 representing an 8.2 percent increase over 2006.
These stats bode well for stemming the serious physician shortage the US and it certainly helps with the diversity issue to help manage minority patients.
