Physicians Medical Forum’s mission is the retention and recruitment of African-American physicians, and the betterment of health care for people of color and the underserved communities in the Bay Area.
Our primary purpose is to increase the number of practicing African-American physicians in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco Counties, while eliminating health disparities and improving the quality of life for patients.
The Physicians Medical Forum (PMF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by a grant from Alta Bates Summit Medical Center.
The “Doctors On Board Program” is an innovative and exciting opportunity for African American students who are pre-med
students, college/university & community college students and high school seniors to experience a rare snapshot of what it
takes to become a physician.
The program was a great success! Please take a few minutes to check out the photos of this event.
