“I have participated in other programs throughout my education. However, with BSCP, I always felt that I could return at a different stage of my journey and still find something valuable. It became more than just attending an event or conference.”

“Without BSCP, I would have continued to mistake the absence of people who looked like me as evidence that I did not belong. For the first time, I was surrounded by people who had achieved things I once believed weren’t meant for me. I could see that there was a place for someone like me in medicine, not just as someone who could participate, but as someone who could excel and lead.”
