Made for Medicine students and faculty had a whirlwind tour of medical schools and colleges this week. Founder and president, Laura Espy-Bell, MD, along with several other faculty members, took more than a dozen students to prestigious medical schools and historically Black colleges in Tennessee at Atlanta. They visited:

• Fisk University, Nashville, TN
• Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN
• Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN
• Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA
• Spelman College, Atlanta, GA

During the trip, the group also visited the Tennessee State Museum and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The tour is meant to provide firsthand exposure to students interested in pursuing careers in medicine. 

“As we continue to guide them on their journey as future doctors, it’s important they understand the historical significance of Black people in medicine as well as the institutions who have supported and shaped the journey,” said Dr. Espy-Bell.
