Historical Black medical schools

Historical Black medical schools are institutions originally established to train Black physicians during times of racial segregation and limited access to predominantly white medical schools. These schools played a crucial role in advancing healthcare for Black communities, fostering representation in medicine, and addressing disparities. Many of them, like Howard University College of Medicine and Meharry Medical College, still operate today, serving diverse populations and continuing to contribute to medical education, research, and community health. Their legacy reflects resilience and the ongoing effort for equity in healthcare and medical training.
