Race-Conscious Admissions Ends, Upends Schools’ Diversity Efforts
The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School - A podcast by Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine - Thursdays
Categories:
The Supreme Court has struck down the use of race-conscious admissions practices--affirmative action--that many colleges use to counteract bias against admitting people of color. Short Coats Hend (M2), Nicole (M3), Faith (MD/PhD) and AJ (M4) discuss why that's a problem for patients, and what might happen now that AdComms are forced to use proxies to diversify their classes. Harvard continues it's run of bad legal luck with the news that its morgue manager has been selling body parts. And chatbots are helping docs talk to their patients with more empathy. Dave subjects his co-hosts to another concoction of food items.
