Black Men in White Coats Youth Summit
Stay tuned for information on our 2023 summit!
On Saturday, June 4, 2022, the Chicago Area Health Education Center (AHEC) at Health & Medicine Policy Research Group hosted its second Black Men in White Coats Youth Summit at Malcolm X College in Chicago.
The summit brought together 500 students, parents, educators, clinicians, and community leaders to inspire youth to consider careers in healthcare while laying the foundation for success via mentorship and networking. “Research shows that Black men are increasingly less likely to attend medical school and hold careers as doctors in the United States, and this decline in the availability of Black doctors exacerbates racial disparities in access and quality of health care,” said Sheronda Kimbrough, Director, Workforce Programs.
