About

Among students interested in a STEM field at the start of their bachelor’s degree, black students have the highest rates of switching to a non-STEM field major (36 percent) according to the U.S. Department of Education (2003-2009). One of the most crucial aspects of this dropout rate for black pre-med students is the feeling of being isolated. As the Black Pre-Medical Society at UCSD created in 2021, we focus on the inclusion, advancement, and retention of all pre-health students of the Black Diaspora through providing resources, community, and guidance.
