Black and Latino Men in Medicine was founded at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center as a network of administrators, physicians, scientists, trainees, and students to raise awareness of the myriad of issues involved in the precipitous decline of Black and Latino men in healthcare, medicine, and science.
Through networking, program development, and community engagement, BLMiM now seeks to support and provide mentorship to individuals interested in medicine/science. All members of the Weill Cornell community are welcome to join BLMiM.
