Abstract: Attendees will discuss the ethical implications of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in admission to medical and other health science schools. They will consider known disparities among matriculants to medical schools and how the recent Supreme Court ruling limiting the use of race-conscious admission practices may affect these disparities.
Continuing medical education credit will be available.
