In honor of Black History Month, Black Health Magazine found the 25 most influential African American doctors across 15 areas in the United States. The 10-year project is designed to search and expose the hidden medical gems within the African American community. The celebration of the honorees also serves as a learning tool for students and readers interested in medicine and science careers.
