Abstract
The path to medical education is complex and challenging. This is particularly true for Black applicants seeking to pursue graduate medical education. These individuals encounter a multitude of challenges due to disparities in access and resources. These hurdles include difficulties in navigating the residency application process and lower matriculation rates. To address these issues, medical schools need to support diverse and innovative mentorship initiatives, including E-mentoring that is specifically tailored to Black applicants. This article examines the benefits of E-mentoring from the perspectives of our innovative E-mentorship platforms.
