Black and Hispanic people are historically underrepresented in the medical field - which can be detrimental to patients of color.

How so? Nell doesn't explain.

I about fell out of my chair when I read that. How on Earth does a doctor’s skin color impact the treatment of a patient whose skin tone is different?

Please. puhlease, don’t lower the admission standards while trying to achieve diversity! There is no excuse for allowing a substandard person to enroll in Medical school just to meet a quota based on racial percentage. The fact that 6.8%, roughly half the percentage of blacks in the US population, are admitted to Med School is not something to be alarmed about.
I know three MDs that attended med school in other countries because they were not able to enroll here in the USA.
