    ``(b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            ``(1) the health status of individuals from racial and 
        ethnic minorities in the United States is significantly lower 
        than the health status of the general population and has not 
        improved significantly since the issuance of the 1985 report 
        entitled ``Report of the Secretary's Task Force on Black and 
        Minority Health'';
            ``(2) racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately 
        represented among the poor;
            ``(3) racial and ethnic minorities suffer 
        disproportionately high rates of cancer, heart disease, 
        diabetes, substance abuse, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, 
        and other diseases and disorders;
            ``(4) the incidence of infant mortality among African 
        Americans is almost double that for the general population;
            ``(5) Mexican-American and Puerto Rican adults have 
        diabetes rates twice that of non-Hispanic whites;
            ``(6) a third of American Indian deaths occur before the 
        age of 45;

        constitute approximately 12.1 percent, 9 percent, 0.08 percent, 
        and 2.9 percent, respectively, of the population of the United 
        States;
            ``(8) minority health professionals have historically 
        tended to practice in low-income areas, medically underserved 
        areas, and to serve racial and ethnic minorities;
            ``(9) minority health professionals have historically 
        tended to engage in the general practice of medicine and 
        specialties providing primary care;
            ``(10) reports published in leading medical journals 
        indicate that access to health care among minorities can be 
        substantially improved by increasing the number of minority 
        professionals;
            ``(11) diversity in the faculty and student body of health 
        professions schools enhances the quality of education for all 
        students attending the schools; and
            ``(12) health professionals need greater access to 
        continuing medical education programs to enable such 
        professionals to upgrade their skills (including linguistic and 
        cultural competence skills) and improve the quality of medical 
        care rendered in minority communities.''.
