On Saturday, November 23, 2024, we are hosting our 21st Annual BCMS Gala, which will be held as an in-person event at The Palace At Cordova. We are raising funds to extend financial support to Memphis area pre-medical and medical students, as well as residents and fellows at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
It is important to us to support the medical workforce of the future and that those medical professionals reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. Since our organization’s founding, we have invested in training the next generation of physicians.
Our event is expected to draw over 200 practicing physicians and community
partners. We are hosting the silent auction during our event to raise funds for
scholarships and support the development of medical students and residents
through networking and mentorship.
