Description
The club’s mandate is to encourage and support premedical students on their journey to becoming medical professionals and healthcare practitioners. Specifically, we look to encourage and aid black students – as well as other students from underrepresented communities – to display that medical school is a viable option despite many preconceived barriers, such as finances and lack of opportunity. The club’s main objective is to be a forum to encourage and facilitate black students that aspire to attain a profession in medicine. The aim is to provide such students with resources and mentorship to pursue their medical career. Overall, the QBPA exists as a collaborative initiative that supports students who are disadvantaged in any way, or who self-identify with having a disability at any stage of their journey to medical school.
