Since 2009, medical schools have had to prove they sufficiently discriminate against white men ("achieve mission-appropriate diversity outcomes") to get accredited.

White men are now significantly underrepresented among med school students.

Fortunately, competence isn't that important in doctors, so purging white men in favor of "underrepresented minorities" (blacks, LatinX) who can't pass clinical exams shouldn't matter.

One thing many institutions have discovered (firefighters, cops, teachers, doctors here) is that you can minimize racial gaps in test scores by making them pass/fail and extremely easy. Of course, this means can't select people who know what they're doing.
