"If we can help you and other Black doctors pay off your loans, you can focus on why you wanted to wear that long white coat: to treat patients, cure diseases, save lives and strengthen communities."- Michael Bloomberg tells Howard University College of Medicine graduates.

Early Wednesday morning, Howard University’s ROTCprogram honored nine Army cadets and 11 Air Force cadets in the first ROTC Joint Commissioning Address in Cramton Auditorium.

The Bloomberg Gift was part of a total $100 million awarded to the nation’s four historically Black medical schools over the next four years to help increase the number of Black doctors.
