Sacramento Bee Editorial Says Kaiser’s New Medical School Could Help Diversify Calif.’s Provider Pool
A Sacramento Bee editorial calls Kaiser Permanente's recent announcement that it will open its own medical school "welcome news," adding, "Even better, however, is Kaiser's plan to recruit more black and Latino medical students, a goal that has eluded other medical schools" in California. The editorial notes that despite being one of "the most diverse places in the nation," California's doctors typically are "older, whiter and more likely to be male than their patients."
