Medunsa and the Training of Black Doctors for South Africa.

Haynes, M. Alfred; Lee, Arthur B.

Academic Medicine, v70 n2 p115-21 Feb 1995

The Medical University of South Africa (Medunsa) was founded to address underrepresentation of blacks in health professions and inadequate health care in the homelands. It trains most allied health professionals in the country, emphasizing community service and preventive medicine. Medunsa and American health professions schools can learn from each other's experiences. (Author/MSE)
