Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Many studies have consistently indicated that the educational outcomes of Black men and boys are not on par with those of their White and female counterparts. Recent data suggest the same holds true for Black men in veterinary medicine. Drawing on national statistics and findings from an analysis of National Educational Longitudinal Study data, I present several recommendations for future policy and practice that can help combat the absence of Black men in the profession.
