Thumbs up AMA Apologizes to Black Doctors

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.

The apology stems from initiatives at the nation's largest doctors' group to reduce racial disparities in medicine — from the paltry number of black physicians to the disproportionate burden of disease among blacks and other minorities.


Acknowledging past and present inequalities and working toward equality and change. Those who understand that, understand that.
