Before we delve into the specifics of the Summer Bridge Program's three tracks, let's take a moment to understand the significance of Morehouse School of Medicine and the Rashad Richey Morning Show. Morehouse School of Medicine, a historically black institution, was founded in 1975 with a mission to address the health disparities faced by underserved communities.

On the other hand, the Rashad Richey Morning Show is a platform that bridges the gap between the public and experts in various fields, facilitating insightful conversations and raising awareness on important topics.
The purpose of Morehouse School of Medicine's appearance on the Rashad Richey Morning Show was to shine a spotlight on the Summer Bridge Program, an initiative designed to provide students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to explore the field of medicine, develop essential skills, and gain insight into medical careers.
The Summer Bridge Program aims to bridge the gap between undergraduate and graduate education, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a medical educational setting.
