The Office for Minority Affairs at University of Pennsylvania was established in 1968. This effort was spearheaded by Dr. Helen O. Dickens, the first Dean for Minority Affairs in the country. In 2009, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine amplified efforts to increase the presence of URM students and other minority groups with great success. The increased need for an institution wide minority community coincided with the founding of the Alliance of Minority Physicians such that an organic partnership emerged between the two groups. Now medical students make up the largest member category of AMP and continue to contribute their enthusiasm to the organization’s many efforts.

AMP Partnership Initiatives
Cracking Clerkships
Sessions held for pre-clerkship students at the Perelman School of Medicine. Led by AMP faculty and housestaff, these workshops prepare students to succeed on the wards. Skills sessions include how to take a history, how to perform a physical exam, and navigating the nuances of various rotations.
Mentoring Families
Medical students are invited to join our Mentoring Families! In these groups, they interact with interns, residents, fellows and attending faculty - giving them opportunities for career mentorship and support for clerkship and subintern rotations. For more information visit our mentoring families page.
Professional Development
Workshops held throughout the academic year give medical students a sneak-peek into life as housestaff. They gain information about grant writing, research, and developing mentoring relationships, benefiting from the wisdom and advice of AMP Faculty from throughout our hospital systems. For more information visit our professional development page.
