Hill March 14, 2024
Roughly a dozen Biden administration health officials will mark “Match Day” for medical students on Friday, traveling to different medical schools across the country and speaking about President Biden’s health care agenda.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra will visit a medical school in Washington, D.C., while other officials will be at medical schools in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nashville and other cities in Wisconsin, California and North Carolina.
Becerra’s remarks in particular will focus on the administration’s efforts to address maternal health and medical racism, and the importance of investing in a diverse health care workforce, an administration official told The Hill.
Only 5.7 percent of doctors are Black, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
