The Latino Paradox refers to the trend where U.S. Hispanic populations—especially recent Latino immigrants—often show better health outcomes and longer life expectancy than non-Hispanic whites, despite lower socioeconomic status and limited healthcare access. These outcomes tend to decline among long-term immigrants and U.S.-born Latinos.

AAMC statement on Supreme Court decision allowing NIH grant terminations to proceed
|
The AAMC issued a statement regarding a 5-4 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that permits the termination of hundreds of NIH grants by allowing in part an application by the government to stay a district court's ruling. The AAMC and other associations filed an amicus brief opposing this stay. The statement reads: "Make no mistake: This was a decision critical to the future of the nation, and the Supreme Court made the wrong choice. History will look upon these mass National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant terminations with shame. The Court has turned a blind eye to this grievous attack on science and medicine, and we call upon Congress to take action to restore the rule of law at NIH."
