Harsh Scoring Process Doesn’t Change Our Commitment to Racial Equity
The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry supports the aims of the White Coats for Black Lives (WC4BL) organization.

We remain steadfast in our support of WC4BL and hope to work collaboratively with our student leaders on future assessments.
