My journey as an underrepresented minority in medicine with mentors who guided me along the way

A powerful lesson I learned in medical school is to be flexible and open-minded when you are searching for a mentor. In my case, a physician I was expecting to be a great mentor to me (he is my cousin and a fellow African American male) turned out to not be interested. However, I connected with other physicians who were more than willing to mentor me, and their support has made a huge impact on me during my journey in medicine.
