#WhyBlackDocsWhy do we need more black physicians in the medical field? Only 5% of all physicians are of African-American descent, while the country's population is composed 13.2% African-Americans. The AAMC has shown over many years that not only are African-American physicians more likely to work in underserved communities, increasing typically maligned populations' access to healthcare.
