Underrepresented in Medicine Commentary
Underrepresented in Medicine Post-bac programs run the full range from undergraduate to graduate degree earning programs.
As minorities it is important to do everything possible to obtain the skills and knowledge base to become competent physicians. It would be great if we can all form a very supportive community and help each other get where we want to be in medicine.
I know about a lot of programs but have not been able to experience all of them, so your input is very important. If you or your friends know about these programs please contribute because someone may very well write a commentary about a program which you know very little about.
So go ahead and share with us, review a program which focuses on URMs and provide some comments.
YOUR Story
Opinions and thoughts are very welcome, pretend you're having a candid conversation with one of your friends and this is what you would share with them. If you are currently enrolled in the program or know others it would be great if they would provide their input.Below is an inspirational quote for you to think about. I actually kept it in my book bag and every time I felt like stopping my studies I would pull it out in the library, and keep going.
I probably had not yet fully realized that becoming a doctor would involve work, hard, unrelenting, disciplined, often body- and soul-consuming work, from dawn to night and then some.~ Dr. Toussaint
