The Queen’s Black Premedical Association (QBPA) is a non-profit AMS certified club run by students at the Canadian post-secondary institution Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. The club’s mandate is to encourage and support premedical students on their journey to becoming medical professionals and healthcare practitioners. Specifically, we look to encourage and aid black students – as well as other students who identify as a visible minority – to display that medical school is a viable option despite many preconceived barriers, such as finances and lack of opportunity. The club’s main objective is to be a forum to encourage and facilitate black students that aspire to a profession in medicine. The aim is to provide such students with resources and mentorship to pursue their medical career.
