The event advocates for Black men in the medical field, whose presence has declined since 1978. Black male physicians at Temple will gather in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine’s Medical Education and Research Building for the annual evening for Black in Men Medicine: an event celebrating the achievements of and offering mentorship opportunities for Black premedical and medical students as they make their way into the medical field. The evening is part of the Office of Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion’s efforts to recruit, support, retain and advance high-quality medical students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in medicine, as well as to specifically address the ongoing shortage of Black men in medicine.
