MODERATOR Gyasi Chisley , PMP, FACHE, ElevateMeD Founding Board Member PANELISTS Dr. Andrew Sanderson II , MD, MPH, FASGE, ElevateMeD Founding Board Member Dr. Brian Hardaway , MD, ElevateMeD Advisory Board Member Dr. Kalonji Cole , 2020-2021 ElevateMeD Scholar and Internal Medicine Resident at University of Texas Southwestern Jordan Edwards , 2021-2022 ElevateMeD Scholar at Charles R. Drew University The Black Men in White Coats” Documentary 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. Health care accounts for nearly 20% of the United State’s GDP and a significant portion of that is driven by disparities in a system that lacks diverse physicians. What if we had a medical workforce that actually reflected our patient population? What challenges do our black boys face? Who are their role models? Why is it easier to visualize a black man in an orange jumpsuit than it is in a white coat? What’s happening in society that more black women are becoming doctors while black men are stagnant? WHOSE FAULT IS IT? It’s time to end this CRISIS and get more BLACK MEN IN WHITE COATS!
