Black Male Physician-Scientist Perspective: Keys to Navigating Academia for Trainee and Early Career GIs

In recognition of Black History Month, we hosted a candid conversation among four Black male physician-scientists in academic gastroenterology and hepatology to explore the unique challenges and experiences in navigating academia.

Our speakers shared personal stories, discussing the importance of mentorship, and reflected on the hurdles and successes in their professional journeys. They also focused on the academic pipeline — shedding light on some of the obstacles Black men may encounter in academic medicine — from fellowship to clinical practice.
