These programs award grants to colleges and community entities that increase opportunities for disadvantaged and underrepresented minority students to pursue careers in health professions. Prior to joining HRSA, Dr. Moncrease was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at WSUSOM, and in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

The experience I found most rewarding while doing the fellowship was the networking opportunity. To be able to sit and talk with national experts in the field of minority health on a one-on-one setting was wonderful.
