It’s simple: you can’t be what you can’t see. If you don’t see physicians of color, you don’t dream of becoming one. Patients R Waiting is a Lancaster-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine. We have three areas of focus. First, to increase the pipeline of minority clinicians. We want to plant the seed when students are young, so we host an annual summer STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) camp for middle school students. We also have a Pipeline Dreams program designed for 11th and 12th grade high school students. The students participate in a 12-week program that exposes them to health care careers, health care providers, and scientific research. Second, to help make our minority pipeline less leaky, we host an annual Diversity in Medicine (DIM) weekend conference to inspire and connect premedical students. UPMC has been an early supporter of the DIM conference. And lastly, we want to support minority clinicians in practice. For physicians of color to improve health outcomes and the communities they serve, they too must feel supported and be healthy and happy. PRW promotes activities like our “What the Health” Book Club to connect health care professionals of color and offer a safe place to candidly discuss issues like health disparities and racial inequality.
