A need for diversity in other professions

"According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, blacks made up 3.3 percent of doctors in the United States in 2004. The percentage of Hispanics was even lower, 2.8 percent. Asians made up 5.7 percent," reported a New York Times article.

In the medical profession, there is a need for more minorities to become health professionals. Despite the fact that it is important to have a mix of cultures in medicine, the important thing about this story is that children are being taught diversity, and that they can really be anything they want to.

It is important to have diversity in professions, especially medicine, because it benefits those who are diverse in society. "Studies have shown that minority doctors are more likely to treat uninsured and low-income patients, and that diversity among doctors increases access to health care for the underserved," the article stated.
