Explanation for doctor shortage
CHICAGO The Illinois State Medical Society president testified that minority doctor shortages trace to elementary and secondary schooling. Dr. Davis S. Fox said many minority students are handicapped in college by inadequate scientific training, attributing the gap to primary and secondary education. The Senate subcommittee on education, chaired by Sen. Richard Newhouse Jr., studies how to address the decline on the South Side. A long-term solution must include steps to ensure minority students receive proper training before medical school applications.
