• Resumen

  • The author presents her thoughts on why racial bias exists in medicine, stating that minorities such as African-Americans and Latinos routinely receive worse care. She suggests this can be addressed by a great emphasis on recruiting and retaining medical students who reflect the diverse populations in the U.S. In addition, she argues that white medical trainees should not avoid discussing race in order to bring more attention to racial bias.
