A Survey of Ethnic and Sociocultural Issues in Medical School Education

Wyatt, Gail E.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, 53, 8, 627-32, Aug 78

A survey of 113 medical schools examined whether sociocultural issues in the treatment of minority group patients were considered in their curricula. 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.
