But when the high school junior was preparing to get off a train at Foggy Bottom metro station in Northwest Washington, D.C., he noticed a man in the same car starting to choke and fall unconscious. Another passenger had warned him to stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Brown rushed toward the man, put him in a recovery position, waited for the vomiting to stop before doing CPR compressions, and stayed behind until emergency health workers arrived. Had no one helped, the man&#8217;s vomit would likely have obstructed his airways and killed him. Brown arrived thirty minutes late to school that day but said that the feeling of giving his all to save someone&#8217;s life was an incomparable first.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says that it will be far from his last time.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section id=\"block-611d1b22d94d135afcc990c013ddb74c\" class=\"cta-pullout-wrapper cta-pullout alignfull coe-block\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-pullout-inner wow animate fade-in-stagger\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-text\">Growing up around family members who worked in TRIO, Young Doctors Project founder, Dr. Malcolm Woodland, modeled the program after Upward Bound.<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<p>Brown, a rising senior at the School Without Walls, is a member of the <em>Young Doctors Project<\/em>. This D.C.-based nonprofit invests in 13 to 18-year-old students who predominantly identify as Black or Latino men wishing to pursue a medical career. On Sunday, June 25, the <em>Young<\/em> <em>Doctors Project <\/em>hosted its 11th annual White Coat celebration of the newest cohorts of &#8220;Young Doctors&#8221; on the rooftop terrace of the <strong>American Association of Medical Colleges<\/strong> building in the heart of Washington, D.C.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond equipping participants with career resources, the directors of the selective program are ushering in a counter-narrative to the portrayal of men of color in the news and calling attention to racial and socioeconomic inequalities in the physician world, \u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/02\/21\/health\/black-doctors-shortage-us\/index.html#:~:text=Black%20men%20represented%202.7%25%20of,no%20improvement%2C%E2%80%9D%20Ly%20said.\">where less than 3 percent of individuals are Black men<\/a>.

To be in this space \u2014 it is uplifting,&#8221; said <strong>Christine St. Vil<\/strong>, a parent of a Young Doctor. &#8220;My son [is] able to be in his program and not only see people that look like him but work with people that look like him and receive mentoring from people who look like him.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For St. Vil, representation is more than face value; it helps save lives. As a mother, the alarming statistics of disproportionate Black maternity deaths \u2014 2.6 times greater than non-Hispanic, white mothers \u2014 are a forever pang in the mind. A September 2020 study found that compared to their white counterparts,\u202f <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haverford.edu\/college-communications\/news\/why-us-needs-more-black-physicians#:~:text=A%20study%20published%20in%20September,rate%20was%20cut%20in%20half.\">Black newborns are three times as likely to pass away in the hospital if they had white doctors<\/a>.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>Young Doctors<\/em> co-founder <strong>Dr. Malcolm Woodland<\/strong>, their intimate understanding of Blackness and knowledge of nuances surrounding barriers to Black wellness makes Black doctors willing to take a more significant chance on their patients of color.

The idea for Young Doctors had been marinating in his head for years before he finally received a startup grant from the D.C. Social Innovation Project to pursue the program. Growing up around family members who worked in TRIO, a federal program that provides student support resources to first-generation and low-income students and students with disabilities, he modeled the program after <strong>Upward Bound<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to sitting in on weekend lessons with current medical students, enrolled Young Doctors are slated to spend four weeks every summer on the <strong>Howard University <\/strong>campus, where they will shadow doctors, explore preliminary research skills, and rotate across hospital departments. In the third year, they will work closely with community clinics to measure patient blood pressure and glucose levels. They receive college access support and entrance exam preparation in the fourth year.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, like <strong>Christine St. Vil&#8217;s son Phillip Jr.<\/strong>, the trip marks the longest time he will be away from his parents, but she is confident that he will find his new home away from home in an environment of like-minded peers.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the program welcomed members from <strong>Roanoke<\/strong>, <strong>Va<\/strong>., and <strong>New York City<\/strong> for the first time. At the ceremony, members of previous Young Doctor cohorts, many of whom are currently in graduate medical programs and will continue to serve as mentors, helped adorn each participant in the new class with a white coat. As Woodland pointed in the directions of two different wards from the rooftop, he said that he dreams of the day when both sides of the city are given the same opportunities for a long, healthy life.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nice because the other kids and parents see the kid in the white jacket with the stethoscope around his neck,&#8221; Woodland said. &#8220;He becomes a real healing body that people in the neighborhood visit when something is wrong. That is not how society often understands black and brown boys in their neighborhoods.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if [the man I helped] lived or died. But at least I kept him alive enough for him to have a chance to live,&#8221; said Mychael, an aspiring cardiologist or anesthesiologist. &#8220;I would say I have a good mind, and whatever I want to change, I will put my mind to.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"slider-articles alignfull coe-block\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"slider-articles__intro container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-articles__heading\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"kicker\">News &#038; Impact<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"slider-articles__title h2\">Latest Articles<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-nav__arrows\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"slick-arrow prev\" aria-label=\"Previous article\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"18\" height=\"31\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  d=\"M0.787494 15.2904L15.6648 0.413086L17.7373 2.48555L4.89734 15.3255L17.7369 28.1651L15.6644 30.2375L0.787109 15.3602L0.822196 15.3251L0.787494 15.2904Z\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"slick-arrow next\" aria-label=\"Next article\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"18\" height=\"31\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  d=\"M17.2848 15.2904L2.40744 0.413086L0.33498 2.48555L13.1749 15.3255L0.335363 28.1651L2.40783 30.2376L17.2852 15.3602L17.2501 15.3251L17.2848 15.2904Z\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<ul class=\"slider-articles__slides list-unstyled init\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card post-card--vertical with-image \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image to-square bg-img\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t style=\"background-image: url(' https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Who_Belongs_On_Campus_Now_Maintaining_Inclusive_Campuses_After_Affirmative_Action_TRIO_Annual_Conference-500x500.jpg ')\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/maintaining-inclusive-campuses-after-affirmative-action-educators-discuss-pathways-forward\/\" class=\"link-reset link-overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                                    <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Click to view the page: Maintaining Inclusive Campuses After Affirmative Action: Educators Discuss Pathways Forward\u00a0<\/span>\r\n                                <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker wow\">Blog<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-medium wow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/maintaining-inclusive-campuses-after-affirmative-action-educators-discuss-pathways-forward\/\" target=\"_self\">Maintaining Inclusive Campuses After Affirmative Action: Educators Discuss Pathways Forward\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-card__meta wow\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby <span class=\"author\">Holly Hexter<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card post-card--vertical with-image \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image to-square bg-img\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t style=\"background-image: url(' https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/student_opportunities_keith_sherin_global_leaders_study_abroad_2024_netherlands_international-500x500.jpg ')\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/expanding-horizons-the-2024-keith-sherin-global-leaders-program\/\" class=\"link-reset link-overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                                    <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Click to view the page: Expanding Horizons: The 2024 Keith Sherin Global Leaders Program\u00a0<\/span>\r\n                                <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker wow\">Blog<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-medium wow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/expanding-horizons-the-2024-keith-sherin-global-leaders-program\/\" target=\"_self\">Expanding Horizons: The 2024 Keith Sherin Global Leaders Program\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-card__meta wow\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby <span class=\"author\">Terrance L.
