The Color of Debt

This morning, I had the pleasure of receiving an article  co-authored by MSSNY's former Student Councilor Robert Dugger MD, The Color of Debt. 

The conclusion -

Black medical students had significantly higher anticipated debt than Asian students. This finding has implications for understanding differential enrollment among minority groups in US medical schools.

Interestingly, whites did not fare as well as Asians either.

The study does have so e weaknesses, with more than a hint of selection bias. Nevertheless, the matter warrants serious reflection by policymakers and further investigation.

Kudos again to Dr. Dugger for this publication.
