Supporting the Next Generation of Black Philly Doctors

The Medical Society of Eastern Pennsylvania, a historically Black organization, is collecting donations and promoting Amazon wish lists to make sure Philadelphia’s Black graduating medical students receive support as they take the next step in their careers. The #BlackPhillyMedGradWishlist campaign is an effort to lighten the financial load for the next generation of Black Philadelphia doctors as they graduate medical school and prepare to begin their residencies. The Philadelphia Inquirer covered the campaign and interviewed Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University students Demetrius Woodard and Bryson Hoover-Hankerson.
