?Report
By Donna Oldham
Staff Writer
-Three representatives of the nation's minority
medical schools have called a report which says that by
the year 2000 there will be too many physicians "racist."
The three doctors were referring to the-Graduate
Medical Education National Advisory Committee's
recently released publication which says that medical
schools should take steps now to eliminate the projected
surplus by limiting enrollment.
Dr. Louis Sullivan, Dean of the School of Medicine at
Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Russell Miller,
Dean of the Howard University Medical School in
Washington, D.C., and Dr. Charles Johnson, speaker of
the house of delegates of the National Medical Association,
and professor of medicine at Duke University were
"attending the-southern council ~of medlcar scftoots?
meeting in Durham and called a news conference of
North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co., to discuss the
report.
