title: Medical education. School daze.
abstract: Most US medical schools have adopted programmes of affirmative action but these have not been completely successful in increasing diversity. There have been some law suits against medical schools brought by rejected students claiming reverse discrimination. Most minority groups are experiencing a downturn in representation in medicine. The movement to humanize medicine through widening entrance criteria has faded away.
