This session focuses on the imperative of enhancing diversity in the medical profession, with a particular emphasis on strategies to bring underrepresented minorities into medicine. Drawing from experiences at the proposed Maryland College of Osteopathic Medicine at Morgan State University, attendees will explore innovative programs aimed at fostering inclusivity, such as articulation agreements that prioritize holistic assessments over traditional admissions criteria like MCAT scores. Additionally, participants will learn about the groundbreaking Masters in BioMedical Science program, designed to provide underrepresented students with foundational knowledge equivalent to that of a first-year medical school curriculum.
