"The historically black medical schools have always provided quality education. Seventy-five percent of all practicing black physciahs went to predominantly ' black medical schools. Accor ding to the National Ad visory Committee on Black Higher Education and Black Colleges and Universities, two of the nation's four historically black medical schools, Meharry medical College and Howard University, toogether produced 22 percent of all black doc tors and 40 percent of all black dentists that graduated on 1977," said Dr. Royal.
