Our Community of Mentees, Physicians, Medical Student Mentors and Concerned Community Members are All Invited!
"Moving from Information to Transformation"
Mon., February 15 2021 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM CST Zoom Panel Discussion
Break Out Sessions Lead by Dr. Carl Lambert
We appreciate Dr. Carl Lambert helping us to plan our exciting Black Men In White Coats Panel discussion on February 15th at 6pm. Join Dr. Carl Lambert as he guides us through the evening's breakout sessions and introduces the topics to each group. In our small groups we will tackle topics centered around everything from resilience to how local college or medical schools can create an environment that supports black students, particularly our black young men and promotes their success in medicine and beyond. Our small group breakout sessions, will be lead by our panelists. Within the small groups, our goal is to be solution focused so we may walk away with action items that we can tackle as a community. It's about moving from "information to transformation."
"As the Covid-19 Pandemic rages on, there are many decisions that lay in front of us with full acknowledgement that healthcare disparities will still exist even once the pandemic is over. How our healthcare system actionably supports its minority physicians and increases this workforce will have an everlasting impact on how we rebound to provide the quality care our already-hurting communities desperately need. Having more Black men in medicine will absolutely be crucial for our students and patients."
