A healthcare workforce that identifies with the experiences and social context of

patient health is essential to a thriving health system that meets the needs of all

patients. However, since 1974, the number of black males applying to medical

school has not increased significantly. Following the AAMC’s Altering the

Course: Black Men in Medicine report, we want to continue the work of

increasing black men in medicine by sharing stories from black male physicians

and medical students currently crafting their own pathway through medicine.

During this session, our panelists will share their experiences in navigating the

medical field, address anxieties created due to low minority representation, and

discuss the impact it has on patient care in their community.

At the conclusion of the session, we will host an optional mentoring session

concurrently with the recruitment fair so that students have a chance to talk one

on one with our mentors at the Representation Matters Mentoring session at 1:00

PM EST. Join us in hearing from medical students, physicians and clinicians

currently in the medicine and health sciences for a dialogue on:

Sharing experiences of Black medical students, and physicians

Discussing resiliency strategies and the importance of supportive, mentoring

networks

My most vivid memory of the program was being around people who looked and thought like me. It was the most ‘at home’ I’d felt with a group of people. It made me see where I could fit into medicine. It showed me I could be a doctor. They helped reinforce in me that there was every reason I should enroll in medical school.
