According to a 2004 survey from the American Association of Medical Colleges, only 3.5% of U.S. physicians are black, while blacks make up 12.3% of the U.S. population. There is a similar gap among Hispanic doctors and the Hispanic population in the U.S., according to the editorial. In 1975, the proportion of medical school students who were minority students peaked at 8.1%, though that percentage has “leveled off and … might have fallen,” according to an East Brunswick Home News Tribune editorial.
