Abstract
The authors examined the expectations of firstyear medical students (n = 139) at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine in regard to interacting with black, Latino, Asian, and white patients. Using slides and a questionnaire, the results indicated that students expected to be significantly less comfortable interviewing blacks than other patients and to view blacks and Latinos as less likely to comply with treatment than whites and Asians. Black and Hispanic students were significantly more likely than white and Asian students to expect black and Hispanic patients to comply with treatment.
