Forging a path towards diversity in medicine with a 400 percent increase in incoming Black medical students
One of the most underrepresented groups in medicine is the Black community. Systematic racism and discrimination have stacked the odds against prospective Black students, who have historically made up less than two percent of students admitted into McGill’s medical school.
The Faculty of Medicine and Health Science’s Social Accountability and Community Engagement (SACE) Office is working on increasing that number through the creation of the Community of Support (CoS) program and the McGill Black Candidate Pathway.
