Mission Drift: Are Medical School Admissions Committees Missing the Mark on Diversity?
Diversity initiatives in U.S. medical education, following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, were geared toward increasing the representation of African Americans—blacks born in the United States whose ancestors suffered under slavery and Jim Crow laws. Over time, blacks and, subsequently, underrepresented minorities in medicine (URMs), became a proxy for African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans, thus obscuring efforts to identify and recruit specifically African Americans. Moreover, demographic shifts resulting from the recent immigration of black people from Africa and the Ca...

Video consultation evaluation during COVID-19 pandemic in Juarez, Mexico
Conclusions: Pneumological VC facilitated access to specialized care, improved equity, cancelled exposure to SARS CoV-2, and saved time and expenses. The cost of consultation was reduced, and accurate treatments were prescribed. The resistance to this new format and the absence of physical examination, were the only hindrances in our context.

Homeopathy 'for Mexicans': Medical Popularisation, Commercial Endeavours, and Patients' Choice in the Mexican Medical Marketplace, 1853-1872.
Abstract This paper focuses on homeopaths' strategies to popularise homeopathy from 1850 to 1870. I argue that homeopaths created a space for homeopathy in Mexico City in the mid-nineteenth century by facilitating patients' access to medical knowledge, consultation and practice. In this period, when national and international armed conflicts limited the diffusion and regulation of academic medicine, homeopaths popularised homeopathy by framing it as a life-enhancing therapy with tools that responded to patients' needs. Patients' preference for homeopathy evolved into commercial endeavours that promoted the practic...

Vaccination Status and Another Preventive Measures in Medical School. Big Needs and Opportunities
Vaccination Status and other Preventive Measures in Medical School. Big Needs and Opportunities, Diana Vilar-Compte, et  al. (1), is a public health priority and one of the many challenges medical schools in Mexico and worldwide face. Our country has a longstanding tradition of highly effective immunization coverage in infancy dating to the nineteen fifties that led to a significant decrease of under five mortality rates. Over the following years, intensive annual vaccination campaigns targeted hard to reach populations in urban and rural areas and the National Immunization Council was created in 1991 (2).

Present status of Medical Physics practice in Mexico: An occupational analysis
Medical Physics is the use of Physics principles, methods and techniques applied to Medicine, in order to prevent, diagnose and treat human diseases [1]. Despite having a wide range of applicability, it is mainly utilized in three major medical specialties: Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine and Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. In these fields, the use of ionizing radiation could compromise patients, medical personnel and general public wellness. Responsibility to assure the safe and effective delivery of radiation to achieve a diagnostic or therapeutic result as prescribed in patient care relies on qualified clin...

Comparison of Medical Student Communication Skills Measured by Standardized Patients During an OSCE and by Faculty During an In-Hospital Encounter.
CONCLUSIONS: We found no correlation between student communication scores measured by faculty during the DOCE compared with communication skills measured by SPs during an OSCE. The discordant results of some students on the OSCE compared with the DOCE suggests that the OSCE may not identify students who may benefit from additional communication skills training.
