85.933 Enhancing the Pathway for Black Male Medical Students
Support the development and funding of comprehensive mentorship programs connecting Black male pre-medical students with physician mentors, guiding academic preparation, MCAT preparation, the medical school application process, and career development.
Promote the expansion of loan repayment programs specifically designed to incentivize physicians to practice in underserved communities, where Black male populations are often concentrated. Faculty development is implemented to promote unbiased assessment of the performance of medical learners to reduce disparities in medical school matriculation.
Support the development of leadership training programs for Black male physicians, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to assume leadership roles in academic medicine, healthcare administration, and public health. Encourage collaboration between medical schools, HBCUs, community organizations, and the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) to implement the recommendations outlined in this resolution, and that MSSNY presents this initiative to the AMA for further development and support.
