Identify the core conclusion of the study. What do you think underlies the experimental differences reviewed in the article. (You’re just as qualified as the researchers themselves to speculate about this, eh?) Considering the “Rooney Rule” (you’ll find a link in the article itself), along with anything else you might find or think of, what suggestions might you give to increase the percentage of African-American physicians in the U.S.?
