African American student access to medical schools

The history of African American student access to medical schools is marked by systematic exclusion, the establishment of independent Black institutions, and ongoing efforts to achieve equality in the healthcare workforce. An American Medical Association timeline of Black Americans' efforts to join the medical profession from 1846 to 1968 shows a succession of refusals to admit Black students and the development of a racially segregated medical education system.
