Statement Of Purpose
Our Focus
Black and Hispanic physicians make up less than 10% of the physician workforce despite the fact that the population in the United States is becoming increasingly diverse. To adequately address the healthcare needs of this diverse population, we need to significantly increase the number of Black and other under-represented minorities (URM) in the physician workforce. Studies show that when a patient and their doctor are of the same race, the patient will experience a more satisfying doctor-patient relationship.
Studies also show that African-American and Hispanic physicians are more likely to return to practice in an underserved community as compared to their white counterparts.
To increase the number of Black and other URM doctors, we must develop strategies and initiate programs that will inspire, recruit, and educate ethnically diverse physicians.
Over the past several decades, the number of Black and other underrepresented minority (URM) students applying to medical school has not increased to any significant degree. In fact, the number of Black males applying to medical school has actually decreased.
The reasons for the lack of minority physicians are multifactorial:
- Lack of early exposure to medicine as a career choice
- Limited access to physician role models
- An overwhelming and intimidating application process
- Less competitive grades, MCAT scores, and applications
- Lack of financial resources
