A survey of 113 medical schools was conducted to determine whether sociocultural issues in the treatment of minority group patients were dealt with in their curricula. The inclusion of factors such as different value systems, attitudes, early experiences, and economic and ethnic backgrounds and their influence upon the delivery of health care services to minority groups was found to be minimal. The variables which appeared to facilitate ethnic and sociocultural courses in medical education are contrasted with those which result in exclusion of this information from the curricula. These findings emphasize the need for a greater commitment to offering such courses.
对113所医学院校进行了一项调查，以确定其课程中是否涉及少数群体患者治疗中的社会文化问题。结果发现，诸如不同的价值体系、态度、早期经历以及经济和种族背景等因素及其对向少数群体提供医疗服务的影响在课程中的体现微乎其微。文中对比了那些似乎有助于在医学教育中开设种族与社会文化课程的变量，以及那些导致此类信息被排除在课程之外的变量。这些研究结果强调了加大力度开设此类课程的必要性。
