Abstract

Strong ethnic disparities exist in medical school performance even after adjusting for age, gender, pu-GPA and socio-demographic variables. More subjective grading cannot be ruled out as a cause of lower grades in clinical training, but other possible explanations should be studied further to mitigate the disparities.
