Mentors and Mentees,
Please join us for a very relevant talk with the esteemed Claude Steele, Dean of Stanford’s School of Education, as he addresses the topic of “stereotype threat” and how it affects the path to medicine for minority students.
Our first May event will be a mixer, during which mentees can talk and network with the wide variety of mentors that are involved in the program.

Dr. Donald Barr will be discussing why so many Black students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in the health sciences are unable to realize their dream, what changes are coming to hopefully “widen” the grad school pipeline, and what roles the physicians of the future will need to play. Dr. Barr is an Associate Professor of Human Biology at Stanford University, and his research interests include reform of premedical education, minority student attrition from the pre-medical curriculum, and expanding access to health care for California’s low-income population. Barring any academic conflicts, all AAMP Mentees are expected to attend this event.
