Melanin Doc is diversifying the face of medicine
Our Goal is to Level the Playing Field for Minority Pre-medical Students
US medical schools do not represent the US population & it is actually getting worse over time

What We Do
Peer Community
To combat imposter syndrome, we offer geography-based peer groups and a searchable national database of minority medical doctors.
Cover Application Fees
For those who can’t pay, we increase the number of schools they can apply to by covering application fees, test preparation costs, or transportation to interviews.
Know How
To address information asymmetry, we provide 1:1 longitudinal mentorship and guidance on the medical school application process
Lack of diversity within the healthcare workforce is detrimental for patients of color
Without a physician and academic medicine workforce that reflects the broader population, it will be challenging to eliminate racial disparities in health outcomes.
