About this Event
GET THERE EARLY!!! CHECK-IN OPENS AT 8:00AM
Join us at Norfolk State University on June 1st for an exciting day of mentorship, medical exposure, and networking, as we strengthen the future of healthcare. Students (BOYS & GIRLS 6th grade and up), parents, educators, healthcare professionals, and community leaders are all welcome!
In response to an alarming report that highlighted the decreasing number of black men applying to medical school, Black Men In White Coats was founded in 2013. This organization has 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.
In June 2024, Sentara will continue this work by bringing students (boys & girls 6th grade and above), educators, parents, physicians, and community leaders together for an amazing 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 though not many, there are people who look like them in this field, and if we can do it, they can do it.
Black Men In White Coats T-Shirts may be purchased in advance at (allow 1 month for delivery)
