Health Expert on Increase of Black Students in Medical School
Black people are breaking barriers in the medical field.
Recent data from the Association of American Medical Colleges indicates applications and enrollments among Black students for medical school have risen 21% between 2020 and 2021. This is especially promising news when you consider that Black physicians only make up 5.3% of the medical field in this country.
Dr. Rachel Villanueva, president of the National Medical Association, joins Aisha Mills on “AMplified” to discuss what’s driving this surge in diversity and what this means for the profession and the patient.

If their being whitewashed and crackanized their no help! If you can't expose the racist and serial anti black health care providers! Your tools of our destruction! We bring up Tuskegee and other known medical medieval in our communities! We need something different not the same nightingale murders! Never exposed why black women die more in child birth then any other? When during state run kidnapping women had babies in the morning and in the fields by noon! Unapologetically, Blacklove is it really?
