I'm planning my med school journey, and I want to make sure I consider all the HBCU options. Does anyone here have a full list of HBCU medical schools or can direct me where to find one? Thanks in advance!
Certainly! Here's a list of the historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with medical schools:
1. Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science - Los Angeles, CA
2. Howard University College of Medicine - Washington, D.C.
3. Meharry Medical College - Nashville, TN
4. Morehouse School of Medicine - Atlanta, GA
These institutions have a storied history of educating African American physicians and contributing significantly to the medical profession. Each offers various programs, from MD degrees to other health-related professional degrees and research opportunities. When researching these schools, I strongly suggest visiting their websites and reaching out to their admissions offices for the most current information on programs, admissions criteria, and institutional culture. Additionally, consider attending college fairs where HBCUs are represented to gather more information firsthand. Best of luck with your medical school journey!
