MENTORSHIP
MATTERS
Guidance That Opens Doors
Mentorship is at the heart of Black Girl White Coat.
We believe representation and guidance go hand in hand. For students pursuing careers in healthcare mentorship isn’t just valuable, it’s vital.
That’s why BGWC offers mentorship completely free of charge for Black women pursuing healthcare careers.
Whether you’re seeking guidance or ready to give it, this is where your journey begins.
