The Made for Medicine Program
Made for Medicine is an initiative to attract more Black talent to the medical profession. With African Americans making up only 5.2% of the U.S. physician workforce, Made for Medicine serves as a programmatic solution to redress the historical exclusion and underrepresentation of Black physicians in the medical field.
Our Vision:
Our vision at Made for Medicine is to create a future where the medical field reflects the diversity of our society, where health equity is realized, and where every individual, regardless of their background, has equal access to quality healthcare. We aspire to empower the next generation of Black doctors who will enact positive change, dismantle systemic barriers, and transform the landscape of healthcare for the betterment of all.
Our Mission:
The mission of Made for Medicine is to increase the number of Black doctors, advance health equity, and promote racial justice.
Our Goals:
Increase Black representation in the medical field
Affirm and sustain Black students’ pathway to medicine
Deliver a culturally responsive curriculum
Provide access to Black medical professional role models
