Last month, Michael Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies made a historic and significant investment into the medical schools situated at Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCU).
Very nice. As a graduate and alumni of Xavier University and Meharry Medical College and long career in academic medicine, I understand firsthand the impact of such a large gift to the medical schools and the great impact it will have on improving health equity in this country. Hats off to Bloomberg for such a thoughtful and impactful gift. Jayden, we hope you consider Meharry or hopefully Xavier as a place for training!
This is a great post and I read it. With my mentoring experience, I have witnessed that our African American male students struggle in first and second year of the medical school program. Retention is a critical issue. The pre-med advising and mentoring program is a full-time job at the HBCUs, which needs appropriate human and fiscal resources. Thank you for sharing.
