LKSOM's "An Evening with Black Men in Medicine" Attracts Media Attention

The Office of Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (OHEDI) at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) hosted “An Evening with Black Men in Medicine” for pre-professional and undergraduate black males. Attendees had the opportunity to meet and connect with black Temple-affiliated physicians in an attempt to address the national decline in the number of black men in medicine. The Philadelphia Inquirer published a report on the event and featured Germyce Harris, Multi-Cultural Recruitment Coordinator at LKSOM; Vincent Cowell, MD, Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology at LKSOM; Leonard L. Mason, III, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Trauma & Surgical Critical Care at LKSOM; and Sean Brown, student at LKSOM. WHYY-FM and 6ABC-TV also covered the event.
