The Minority Physician Recruitment Program (MRP) works closely with all Boston University Medical Center training programs and other departments to increase the proportion of under-represented minority (URM) residents, fellows and faculty in order to achieve excellence and better serve our diverse patient population. We strive to achieve these goals by focusing on three areas:
Education & Training
The Subsidized Elective Program, sponsored by the Minority Recruitment Program allows qualified 4th year medical students that are considering applying to one of our residency programs the opportunity to have their housing, travel, and living costs subsidized during the visiting elective. In addition, students will meet minority housestaff and faculty, as well as have the opportunity to explore the city of Boston.
Mentoring & Networking
The URM Mentorship Program is a structured program supported by the Minority Physician Recruitment Program (MRP) and the BUSM Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs. This mentorship program provides longitudinal mentorship for students in all four years as well as residents, fellows and faculty in a small group structure.
In addition, the MRP hosts a number of networking and social events to help build connections between URM trainees and faculty within the Boston University Medical Center community.
Diversity & Inclusion
In collaboration with the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, we promote and celebrate diversity through a variety of cultural events as well as panel discussion around issues on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, cultural competency, gender, and health disparities in medicine.
As New England’s largest safety net hospital, with Boston’s most diverse patient population, Boston Medical Center offers unequaled learning opportunities. With 44 programs, and over 650 residents and fellows, residency training in the Boston Medical Center community offers a wide range of educational and career opportunities.
