Ethnic Structure Of Teachers At Medical Schools Of The USA.
Despite distinctiveness initiatives, there still are too few minority privilege members at US medical schools and those minorities are less liable to be promoted, according to a new study. Researchers analyzed data gathered from medical schools across the boonies between 2000 and 2010. During that time, the percentage of minority potential members increased from 6,8 percent to 8 percent. Minorities include blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

Over the same period, the part of newly hired minority power members increased from 9,4 percent to 12,1 percent. The interest of newly promoted minority faculty members increased from 6,3 percent to 7,9 percent.
