Why is it easier to visualize a Black man in an orange jumpsuit than it is in a white coat?
Fewer Black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978 and Black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being Black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers preventing black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences on society at large.
Hosted by the Cornell Office of Multicultural Student Leadership and Empowerment, Weil Cornell Medicine PDA Anti-Discrimination Committee, and Weill Cornell Graduate School Social Justice & Anti-Racism Task Force.
