    DescriptionDr Zaki Hassan-Smith says that there are still significant differences in how many students from different income backgrounds are at medical schools
    Involving all stakeholders, like underrepresented student groups, to solve the problem in a technique known as ‘action research’ is vital
    Students could get involved through feedback groups, summer schools and workshops addressing class barriers.
