It may be time for the next generation to stop worrying about being rappers, sports athletes and other entertainers and focus on being doctors, especially if you’re black.
According to a study published in JAMA Network Open, it showed that Black people who lived in Counties with at least 1 Black Doctor, lived longer. There was no direct reason that people of color lived longer, but what they did say is that black doctors were more likely to treat low-income patients.
From the looks of it, there definitely be more Black Doctors to the rescue. For the 2022-2023 academic school year, there has been a 9% increase in Black applicants applying to medical school, according the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
