Description

GET THERE EARLY!!!  CHECK-IN OPENS AT 8:15AM Brought to you by White Plains Hospital Join us for an exciting day of mentorship, hands on activities, and networking, as we strengthen the future of healthcare.  Students (BOYS & GIRLS 6th grade - 12th grade), parents, educators, healthcare professionals, and community leaders are all welcome!  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 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*** Black Men In White Coats T-Shirts may be purchased in advance at BMWC.store (allow 1 month for delivery) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***By attending the event you agree to have your voice and likeness recorded and distributed for promotional and educational purposes.  Furthermore, all participants under the age of 18 must be registered by their parent or legal guardian.  Participants 13 years old and under must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or their designated chaperone while at the summit.
