Representation in medicine is vital for improving health outcomes, care quality and building trust. It creates opportunities for students and patients to interact with health care providers who reflect their identities. It offers diverse experiences and perspectives towards creating greater understanding and appreciation between cultures and communities. It creates visibility for individuals to envision their own opportunities for a career and success in health care and medicine.

The Entrance Award in Medicine for Black Students at UBC supports this goal by helping to alleviate financial barriers that may hinder Black students from accessing quality medical education.

Your donation today will provide financial support and empower the next generation of aspiring Black medical students and professionals to ease the financial pressures they face when pursuing their studies. By supporting the Entrance Award in Medicine for Black Students at UBC, you are making a crucial investment towards a future in medicine that is more responsive to the needs and lived experiences of Black people and helping to shape and pave the way for more equitable healthcare practices and improved outcomes for all.

Together, we can take a step forward to realizing a more inclusive and welcoming health care landscape in BC, truly transforming health for all.
