ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Some local doctors are on a mission to get more young Black men interested in medical careers.

The East St. Louis Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. hosted the event “Black Men in White Coats” this afternoon in East St. Louis.

Doctors work to bring awareness about the many different careers in the medical field.

Doctors say the number of Black men in medical school has been decreasing and they are working to reverse that trend.
