Support the BPAO
The Black Physicians’ Association of Ontario (BPAO) is the premier medical professional organization in Canada dedicated to creating pathways for Black students to pursue careers in medicine. By addressing inequities and providing support, the BPAO has contributed to record highs of Black identifying medical learners entering medical schools not only in Ontario but across Canada. This achievement represents a significant step towards diversity and representation in the medical field, benefiting not just the Black community but society as a whole by fostering inclusivity and promoting healthcare equity.
Your generous support to the BPAO helps us continue our vital work in supporting Black physicians, advocating for equitable healthcare, and improving health outcomes within Black communities. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact.
