HBCU学者计划
Closing the gap of health disparities and inequities
Diverse voices have unique perspectives and approaches to health and science. Underrepresented medical professionals are more likely to practice in their communities where cultural sensitivity can create trust and improve outcomes. We’re partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to help students earn professional degrees in the biomedical and health sciences.
我们的目标? Simply to increase the number of Black students who apply and are accepted into graduate science, 研究和公共卫生项目.
HBCU 学者 learn about the health of their communities, 参与研究项目, 探索不同的职业道路. 志愿者 mentors give the scholars invaluable professional guidance. If we’re going to close the gap in health disparities, we must have more diverse researchers and medical professionals. A strong education can grow the next generation of African American doctors, nurses, and researchers.
不懈追求缩小差距
The HBCU学者计划 is an academic year experience focusing not only on research methodologies but also the social impact that health disparities and inequities have on the Black community. 学者 learn how diverse perspectives enhance scientific investigation, and how cultural sensitivity can create trust and improve clinical outcomes.
过去连接我们的未来
自2015年以来, the HBCU学者计划 has changed the impact and trajectory of 139 Black and African American students, ensuring that the pipeline of dedicated and talented biomedical and health science professionals remains open. The majority of our HBCU 学者 have graduated from their respective HBCUs.
HBCU学者计划的“心脏”
