MELANIN & MEDICINE: FOSTERING REPRESENTATION IN HEALTHCARE
Build 2 Lead, in partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, Morehouse School of Medicine, and educational partners, has hosted three Melanin and Medicine events to connect students with Black and Brown healthcare professionals and explore healthcare careers. The events have featured breakout sessions on mental health, career navigation, and battling discrimination, while fostering connections between students, families, and clinicians.
