Support Our Mission
Blacks make up 13.6% of the U.S. population and only 5% of all doctors. Our work is clearly defined.
Why support?
Out of the over 1,077,115 doctors in the United States (Statista), only 53,856 identified as Black; 5%. (AAMC, 2019) To equal our place in the country’s population, a total of 146,148 doctors need to be counted, a difference of nearly 92,000 new physicians. Few know the crisis better than you. Your time, talent and, experience can help get more through the pipeline to achieve an advanced medical degree.
As PrME expands that pipeline, the goal is only possible with your support.
Our mentoring programs, Teaching Mentorships, Parent Sessions, Public Speaking Engagements, Presentations and Partnerships will help, but you are the difference. We saw a former child of welfare turned Community Activist become president based on the power of donations. Together, we will become the change.
DONATE SAFELY
Our donation system is secured by Square system which is an industry-standard for credit card payments used by 30 million monthly active users.

The Future of Black Doctors is on All of Us
There is a saying that children become who they see. I don’t know who coined the phrase but I believe that it is true. At the age of 10 years I decided that I wanted to become a physician. It never occurred to me that I couldn’t do so because I was surrounded in my neighborhood and church with black role models. My family dentist and pediatrician were black men. Our family doctor was a black man from the island of Grenada where my family was from. In addition, the first lady of my church was a OB/GYN. There were multiple lawyers and businessmen that were all black and members of my church. As a result, I received mentorship in the sense that these people talked with me about being successful and helped to encourage me in my journey.
I also had a praying Mother who had expectations of my success! Eleanor Walker, M.D., Radiation Oncologist

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
