The Black Men in White Coats (BMWC) initiative was founded in 2013 by Dr. Dale Okorodudu in response to an Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) report highlighting the decreasing number of black male applicants to medical school. The summit's goal is to inspire all youth to consider careers in healthcare while laying the foundation for success via mentorship and networking.
