The University of Alabama College of Community Health Sciences’ Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and UA Intercultural Diversity Center are proud to present the documentary film “Black Men in White Coats.” Fewer Black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978 and Black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being Black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers preventing Black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences to society at large.
The film will be available for viewing for 72 hours starting May 16 at 5:30 p.m. CT. Claim your unique access streaming code by selecting 'View the event' in your registration confirmation email.
