Jonathan Willard and Darryl Hill. 134 Black men have participated in our Nth Dimensions Summer Internship program since 2005. Black men make up less than 3% of all US Physicians. Help us defend diversity in medicine, by sharing this post!
Nearly 400 underrepresented minority, medical students from across the United States have participated in the Nth Dimensions Summer Internship Program since we were incorporated in 2005. Our alumni represent the lasting impact we have made in diversifying the field of medicine.
Dr. Freddie Fu was the Professor and Chair, Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences.
As a visiting professor in 2016, Dr. Mason thanked Dr. Fu for truly giving our Nth Scholars a chance.
Rest In Peace and Power, Dr. Fu

Once I was told by the Orthopaedic advisor at my medical school that “Your people really need pediatricians and family practitioners. Orthopaedics is not for you.”
I was strong and smart enough to reply, “That’s fascinating, but I think my people also need surgeons too.”
Please help us congratulate
