U.S. physicians apologize to black doctors

U.S. physicians apologize to black doctors - International Herald Tribune:

"CHICAGO: The American Medical Association, the largest physicians' group in the United States, apologized to black doctors on Thursday for a history of racial discrimination.

The AMA said it will work to increase the ranks of minority physicians and their participation in the association.

The apology arose from the work of an independent panel of experts commissioned in 2005 to study the history of what the AMA called 'the racial divide in organized medicine.'"
