(Atlanta Voice) — Morehouse School of Medicine leads all the nation’s medical schools in a new research category called “social mission,” a new study reveals. Morehouse tops all other medical schools in preparing doctors to meet the rising medical needs of underserved and under-insured populations, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
“The basic purpose of medical schools is to educate physicians to care for the national population,” the study’s authors write. “Fulfilling this goal requires an adequate number of primary care physicians, adequate distribution of physicians to underserved areas, and a sufficient number of minority physicians in the workforce.”
