Join us for an exciting day of mentorship, hands-on activities and networking as we strengthen the future of health care. Middle school and high school students (All Genders in grades 6 through 12), college students, post baccalaureate students, parents, educators, healthcare professionals and community leaders are all welcome!
Kaiser Permanente and the Black Men in White Coats Youth Organization seeks to provide underrepresented minority youth with exposure to the medical field through the following:
robust discussion topics led by content experts
activities with dynamic speakers and diverse physician panelists
educational breakout sessions covering an array of topics including: networking skills, study skills workshops, total health, support for parents & educational guidance from local counselors
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 April by bringing students, 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.
