Ninety-five first year medical students agreed that there was differential medical treatment of minority vs majority persons. Implicated reasons for this phenomenon were lack of personal treatment of members of minorities, distrust of medical workers by minority members, and majority perceptions that minority persons are not good patients. Integrated treatment and training facilities, preferential academic treatment, special training for majority students, and philosophy of medical care are discussed in terms of improving medical care for all.
95名一年级医学生一致认为，少数族裔与多数族裔人群在医疗待遇上存在差异。造成这种现象的原因包括对少数族裔成员缺乏个性化治疗、少数族裔成员对医护人员不信任以及多数族裔认为少数族裔不是好病人。从改善全民医疗护理的角度，讨论了综合治疗和培训设施、优惠的学术待遇、对多数族裔学生的特殊培训以及医疗护理理念。
