Surveyed first-year students at four Southeastern medical schools about diversity issues. Found that perceptions of diversity were influenced by students' own demographic characteristics and those of their medical school. The more diverse the class, the more comfortable students were with diversity and the more they valued its contribution to their medical education. (EV)
