ATLANTA, January 3, 2022 /3BL Media/ – According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 7% of medical students, 6% of medical school graduates, and only 5% of physicians are Black. In an effort to address that disparity, the American Heart Association (AHA), the leading public health nonprofit devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, has announced that 46 students from 23 institutions will participate in the largest class to-date of its HBCU Scholars program, including Alonzo Frederic and Darryl Sams at Morehouse College; Diajah Kidd and Kirlandria Harris at Clark Atlanta University; Lauren Mitchell and Maya Blasingame at Spelman College, thanks to a significant commitment from Quest Diagnostics.
