Saint Mary's Hospital Hosts Black Men In White Coats Youth Summit

About this event

Inspiring What's Possible

For the third year in a row, Saint Mary's Hospital, Trinity Health Of New England, will host the annual Black Men In White Coats Youth Summit in Waterbury, Connecticut!

Join us for an exciting day of mentorship, medical exposure, and networking, as we strengthen the future of healthcare. All students 3rd grade and up, parents, educators and community influencers from across the region are welcome!

In response to an alarming report that highlighted the decreasing number of Black men applying to medical school, we began Black Men In White Coats in 2013. We have worked closely with medical schools, high schools, and physicians to provide inspiration and mentorship to our youth who may be interested in healthcare as a profession.

This is a FREE full day summit! Over the course of the day, students will engage in hands-on activities and network with healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds. The goal is to inspire and show them that though not many, there are people who look like them in this field, and if we can do it, they can do it.

Breakfast & Lunch Will Be Provided

WATCH THE INSPIRING IMPACT FROM LAST YEARS EVENT!

Black Men In White Coats T-Shirts may be purchased in advance at BMWC.store (allow 1 month for delivery)
