May lh The purpose of the work shop was to help faculty in the medical field to recognize factors and attitudes that may inhibit or promote the learning process for minority students. The principal speaker. Dr Oliver Osborne. Chairman >f the Department of Psych' social Nursing at th> Vtn versity of Washington Sch< >1 of Nursing, gave a strornr. direct speech. A mixture of faculty, stu dents and local communm members involved in health professions com prised the audience of about 125. Vn divided attention was held while Dr. Osborne refused to beat around the bush' in his statem en ts that "faculty members hold strong racial bias." He went on to explain "most minority students are different from the other stu dents. They are more naive. They want to know more than whites, are more ser ious about their studies and take the curriculum more serious. Whereas white stu dents challenge the instruc tor more, m inority stu dents are ready to blame themselves for failure." Minority students have to suffer character assasina- tions. Dr. Osborne said. Minority students are often mistaken for aids or maids by professionals and guests while on duty in hospitals. Stressing the potential and new ideas that minorities are sure to bring to the medical field. Dr. Osborne ended his speech with a different per spective to methods of re volving faculty attitudes to ward minorities. “Nursing probably needs m inority more than minorities need nursing!" The workshop continued with group discussions, panel discussions and a time set out for audience response. However the workshop was not simply ended with a friendly good bye and a re turn to homes and old ways. But instead, each faculty member was asked to make a commitment to use the know ledge gained in the workshop to promote learn ing for at least one minority student.
