ROOTS | Rooted in Purpose. Growing the Future.

Why we are growing ROOTS?

For Black medical students and internationally trained graduates, medicine is about more than getting through training. Mentorship, guidance, education, professional connections and community can make a real difference along the way.

BPAO’s Medical Learners portfolio already provides this support through mentorship and sponsorship, learner webinars, student events, exam and learning supports, and programming for internationally trained graduates.

But limited funding has meant scaling back some programs and limiting what we can offer. We don’t want that to continue.

That’s why we’re launching ROOTS, with a goal of raising $50,000 to strengthen the Medical Learners portfolio and help us continue supporting learners throughout their journey.

Because nobody grows alone.
