Founded in 2007, A Gentleman and A Scholar Mentoring Program is designed to specifically target African-American male high school and college students interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Each student participant is assigned to a College of Medicine male student mentor who advises their respective student on scholarly success and leadership. Participants meet monthly at the Medical University of South Carolina as a group and individually with their mentors throughout the academic year. This program provides a competitive advantage through various endeavors such as clinical shadowing experiences, structured inspirational talks, test taking and study skills, exposure to various summer science programs, and academic tutelage where needed. A Gentleman and A Scholar Mentoring Program will equip participants with the necessary tools to go above and beyond in order to increase the numbers of African-American males entering and successfully completing medical school. |
