Answer:
Introduction Health disparities often affect minorities the most by way of perception of health, the healthcare system and access to care (Smedley, Stitch, Colburn, et al., 2001). For a half a century, the 25,000 Blacks or African-Americans that have graduated from medical school, were more likely to work in underserved communities than their white peers (Xierali, Nivet,2018). Black and African Americans are not just necessary to perform their medical roles, they are also necessary in establishing quality care. According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, minorities receive lower quality of care despite age, income and insurance status which partly contributes to their rising death rates (The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, 2002). Unfortunately, from birth Black and African American men have the lowest life expectancy than their female and white male and female counterparts (Bond,Jermane, Herman, 2016). In the context of these statistics, the Brotherhood Alliance for Science and Education (BASE) was developed to respond to the many factors that impede the educational development of minority men including the lack of educational opportunities, lack of encouragement, lack of positive role models, and misguided messages about manhood and achievement. This program aims to address these and other factors with the aforementioned goals and the following objectives in mind: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To strengthen current ties between underrepresented minority medical students and undergraduates with an emphasis on mentoring undergraduate men To collaborate with Minority Association of Pre-medical Student (MAPS) chapters to achieve the above objectives To target young males in elementary, middle and high school and expand relationships with middle and high schools engaged with HPREP and YSEP programs To oster continued community/parental support and participation by engaging parents at each level of the planning and preparation stages To collaborate with local National Medical Association chapters/faculty as a source of guidance, support and mentoring relationships for all levels. The BASE program is designed to engage young people that identify as men and boys from primary education through the undergraduate level and offer them tangible skills and intangible support by medical students, residents and faculty. Additionally, the BASE protocol is designed to utilize the SNMA’s existing pipeline programs such as HPREP, YSEP and/or PMED in order to further offer them mentorship and guidance. 2

Program Goals BASE programming is designed to… ●Increase the number of underrepresented minority males (Black, Latino, Native American) advancing through grade school and higher education, with the ultimate goal of increasing their representation in medicine. ●Foster and develop mentoring relationships among members of the pipeline and those beyond to provide a personal source of guidance and support at each level. ●Present higher education, professional development, and health careers as attainable and worthwhile goals for young men and their parents, 4. To instill the importance of community service, community empowerment, and “giving back” in the target population. These program goals will be accomplished through three primary focuses: 1.Engagement It is important to engage both the young men and their parents on a personal level to establish strong mentoring relationships. This is achieved by gaining constant input from parents and students, fostering one-on-one mentoring relationships with each student, and providing regular fun activities including basketball tournaments, trips to amusement parks, and cultural activities. a.The engagement component should move beyond simply allowing the students and parents to have input in the process, but instead should evolve into parent planned activities that address parental concerns, or student planned activities that emphasize certain topics, such as community service activities, retreats, etc. b.Ultimately, it would be ideal to have the students govern themselves and create their own expectations, and programmatic agenda. However this can only happen if the students are engaged in the program from the onset and they have developed a proper understanding of “the right way to do things.” 2.Achievement a.Engage the student to identify their personal and professional goals. The student(s) first have to know what they hope to accomplish before taking steps to help them achieve those goals through BASE. i.Suggested activities may include weekly tutoring sessions on the medical school campus, SAT prep, assistance with college applications and other career building opportunities based on individual interests and goals.
