Increasing Diversity In Medicine...
OUR STORY
_edited.png)
Minority Med Connect is dedicated to empowering International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and students underrepresented in medicine (URiM) by providing essential support, resources, and training tailored to their unique needs.
In the U.S., only 5% of physicians are Black or African-American and 5.8% are Hispanic, with minimal increases in representation since 1940. Coupled with the challenges of international training, this can make the medical journey feel daunting for many.
​
As an organization founded by international medical students, we deeply understand the challenges and barriers that IMGs and minority medical students face in the medical field. We are committed to removing these obstacles by guiding our members through each step of their medical careers.
OUR MISSION
Our mission at Minority Med Connect is to enhance diversity and inclusion within the medical field. We do this by offering long-term guidance and equipping our members with the essential support and resources they need to thrive in their medical careers.
We are committed to fostering a healthcare environment that is not only inclusive but also reflective of the communities we serve.
Our Team
At Minority Med Connect, we consider our team our most valuable asset. It is comprised of accomplished International Medical Graduates and Students (IMGs) who serve in multiple leadership positions for prominent medical organizations. These team members have played pivotal roles in national efforts aimed at diversifying the medical profession and enhancing support for underrepresented minority (URM) medical students.
Armed with their own personal experiences navigating the unique challenges faced by internationally trained medical students, our team is deeply committed to providing the kind of mentorship and resources that were once out of their reach. They bring not only their expertise but also a passionate commitment to leveling the playing field in medical education. In light of recent setbacks to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the work of our team has become more crucial than ever. We are dedicated to tirelessly empowering the next generation of URM medical professionals, equipping them to lead and innovate in a field where diversity and representation matters.
