Abstract | During spring 1975, the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated four main areas where minorities and women traditionally encountered obstacles because of their minority status and/or sex: academic preparation at the preprofessional level and recruitment to a medical center, admission to medical school, learning opportunities in medical school, and appointment to residency programs and medical faculty positions. Ninety-four interviews were conducted with students, faculty, and staff from the University of Colorado (CU) School of Medicine and with representatives of various community agencies concerned with the health profession. Additional data were obtained at an informal hearing conducted by the connittee. Some findings were: severe underrepresentation of minorities and women in institutions of higher education, both in Colorado and nationally, limited the number of these students available to apply for medical school; failure of schools to provide adequate education and acquisition of study skills at the lower academic levels severely handicapped minority students preparing to enter medical school; and although CU School of Medicine made a special effort to recruit minorities, it made no special effort to recruit either minority or white women.
