24 September, 2022

Description

Patients R Waiting's mission is to eliminate health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine. We have 3 areas of focus: increasing the pipeline of minority clinicians, making the pipeline less leaky, and supporting minority clinicians in practice. To us, the work of supporting minority clinicians includes creating a network of support so that clinicians can thrive. Join us at Franklin and Marshall Life Sciences & Philosophy building (LSP) to view Black Men in White Coats. Fewer black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978 and black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers preventing black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences on society at large. Doors open at 6 pm, movie starts at 7 pm ** Movie theater snacks will be availabile!
