In existence for more than 100 years, the schools of medicine and dentistry of Howard University and Meharry Medical College have been responsible for training the majority of African-American physicians and dentists. The dissolution of the doctrine of "separate but equal" has resulted in the acceptance of larger numbers of African-American health professionals to America's medical and dental educational institutions. The University of Tennessee School of Dentistry is a primary example of a formerly segregated institution that has changed its policies and presently possesses a respectable number of African-American dental alumni. In a recent acknowledgment of this fact on Alumni Day, black graduates of this University celebrated and sponsored a program to increase the number of African-American matriculants at the school.
霍华德大学医学院和牙科学院以及梅哈里医学院已经存在了100多年，一直负责培养大多数非裔美国医生和牙医。“隔离但平等”原则的废除使得更多非裔美国健康专业人员被美国的医学和牙科教育机构所接纳。田纳西大学牙科学院就是一个曾经实行种族隔离的机构的主要例子，该机构已经改变了其政策，目前拥有相当数量的非裔美国牙科校友。在最近校友日对这一事实的认可中，该大学的黑人毕业生举办并赞助了一个项目，以增加该校非裔美国入学学生的数量。
