MEET SISTERS WITH A STETHOSCOPE

Are you a middle or High School student who dreams of becoming a doctor?

​

This website will provide vital information to help you make your dreams come true:) 

 

Sisters with a Stethoscope is a nationwide organization that aims to bridge the gap between minority females' representation in medicine compared to other racial groups by starting with the youth. We seek to provide resources to all races and genders on how to become a physician, surgeon, physical therapist, nurse, pharmacist, physician assistant, and psychotherapist, among other health-related professions. It's vital that patients feel represented by their healthcare providers. We hope to be part of the change that increases the percentage of Hispanic and Black female physicians,which currently stands at 5.4% in America.
