Brought to you by Cedars-Sinai Cedars-Sinai is a nonprofit academic healthcare organization serving the diverse Los Angeles community and beyond. With pioneering medical research achievements, education programs defining the future of healthcare, and wide-ranging community benefit activities, we’re setting new standards for quality and innovation in patient care. About this Event Black Men In White Coats started in 2013 in response to an alarming report that highlighted the decreasing number of black men applying to medical school. We have worked closely with medical schools, high schools, and physicians to provide inspiration and mentorship to our youth who may be interested in healthcare as a profession. We are continuing this work in May by bringing students (boys & girls), educators, parents, physicians, and community leaders together for a full day summit! Over the course of the day, students will engage in hands-on activities and network with healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds. The goal is to inspire and show them that there are people who look like them in this field, and if we can do it, they can do it. **Continental Breakfast and Lunch will be provided*** Masks are recommended.
