Med students

The New England Journal of Medicine has been strongly criticized for publishing an academic paper calling for medical students to be taught in racially-segregated groups, with the idea condemned as 'morally abhorrent'.The article, written by seven academics, doctors and students at the University of California, San Francisco, was published by the esteemed journal on April 27.It calls for 'new approaches' to teaching - namely, dividing students based on the color of their skin. This is designed to bring grades closer together. Just another example of equity. Many mostly Black high schools did not offer the same quality of education to Black students and it catches up with them in college and in medical school.
