I was stunned to learn that only 5.7% of physicians in the US are Black. Let that number sink in. It’s so important not only for young Black children to see themselves represented in all arenas, but Black patients need to have a Black physician who innately understands the community and our struggles. We need #MoreBlackDoctors period, like my baby sis ericaogwumike! Please support the Charles J. Blackwood Scholarship Fund to help provide full-tuition scholarships for at least one Black student in each class at the cumedschool. Visit and follow moreblackdoctors for more info!
