The Diversity in Medicine Conference, annually held by Patients R Waiting, is designed by experienced health professionals of color with the needs of underrepresented students preparing for careers in medicine and other health professions in mind. This conference is an invaluable opportunity for students to get the information and support they need to succeed in their chosen field. Eliminating health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine is the mission of Patients R Waiting, with three areas of focus: increasing the pipeline of minority clinicians, making the pipeline of minority clinicians less leaky and supporting minority clinicians in practice.
