Survey of graduates of a traditionally black college of medicine

Abstract

Over 700 Howard University medical alumni of seven representative classes graduating from 1955 to 1975 were surveyed by questionnaire in 1975-76. Replies of the 311 respondents confirm that this college of medicine has trained a substantial number of physicians who are providing care to blacks, the economically disadvantaged, and residents of inner city areas. Survey findings may also be useful in reaffirming the necessity for training more minority physicians, assessing the impact which the increasing number of minority physicians will have on health care delivery in this country, and suggesting the probable practice patterns of future minority graduates of U.S. medical schools.
