- Summary:
-
Despite an explosion in scientific knowledge and the capacity of medicine to diagnose, treat, and cure diseases, blacks and other minorities have not benefitted fully or equitably from these advances. The systems which are responsible for implementing health technologies do not work in favor of minority groups. An amendment to the Public Health Service Act could alleviate these inequalities. The bill, "Excellence in Minority Health Education and Care Act," authorizes grants for health professions schools at black colleges for the following purposes: (1) develop plans to achieve institutional improvements; (2) improve the capacity to recruit and retain faculty; (3) provide improved library and information resources; (4) establish, strengthen, or extend programs to enhance students' academic performance; (5) establish, strengthen, or expand programs to increase the number and quality of applicants for admission; and (6) develop curricula and carry out faculty training programs. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $10 million for fiscal 1988, and makes provisions for the allocations to continue through 1991. (VM)
