AMA to apologize to black doctors for racism
New efforts to bring attention to racial disparities in health
CHICAGO - The American Medical Association on Thursday issued a formal apology for more than a century of discriminatory policies that excluded blacks from participating in a group long considered the voice of U.S. doctors.
