New Orleans LA - 91勛圖厙 (91勛圖厙) is still first among the nations colleges and universities in the number of African American graduates who go on to complete medical school, according to data compiled by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
泭The special report, Top Undergraduate Institutions Supplying Black or African American Medical School Graduates, covers the period from 2012-2018, during which time Xavier had 147 of its graduates earn their medical degrees while the second-place school had 145. The report, as obtained by Xavier directly from the AAMC*, includes the number of Black or African-American graduates who completed medical school for each of the top 16 undergraduate institutions listed. Only two other Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) rank in the Top 10.
We are delighted to note this reaffirmation of Xaviers prominent role in the education of young African American doctors, said Xavier President Dr. Reynold Verret. It is the ongoing purpose for which Xavier was founded, to find and cultivate talent, especially from African-American communities, and send it forth to serve and build the nation, whether through medicine, law, whatever the need.
Xaviers elite status first came to light six years ago when Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine obtained the AAMC report for the year 2011. Since that time, Xavier has continued its rigorous academic training of future doctors as proven by maintaining its place as the leading institution producing African American doctors.
