Nigerian Medics Making Waves in the Diaspora

By Victoria Harrison Time after time, education has proved to be a gateway to invaluable opportunities, not only for its direct participants and their families, but for the world as a whole. It is said that the value of education cannot be accurately quantified. As such, rewards such as honour, prestige and recognition have been perceived to be adequate measures of the value of education. More often than not, Nigeria has been a recipient of these rewards by virtue of her citizens who, home and abroad, are thriving in their careers. These careers span the fields of Law, Medicine, Engineering, Sports and the Arts.

The US Just Got Its Ninth Black Female Pediatric Surgeon

By Cherranda Smith May 11, 2021 A Texas woman made history after becoming only the ninth Black female pediatric surgeon in the United States, according to the American Pediatric Surgical Association.  Dr. Good Morning America last month that she was eight years into her medical education before she saw another Black female surgeon. Now, she’s among the few Black women surgeons in the country.  “I honestly had never thought about it before because there are so few of us, that’s always been my reality,” Dr. Bowen-Jallow told the outlet. “You’re just used to that.”  A native of Texas, Bowen-Jallow attended college, medical school, and completed her residency in her home state. Becoming a surgeon for Bowen-Jallow had been a dream since the second grade, making her the first doctor in her family, though the journey hasn’t always been easy.

Data from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) show the growth of Black or African American applicants, matriculants, and graduates lagged behind other groups as recent as 2019.  Thus, Bowen-Jallow’s accomplishment represents a lack of diversity in the medical field. (Image: Facebook-Kanika Bowen-Jallow) The  native Texan told Good Morning America that medical school was the first time she had encountered Black physicians in any field. As a result of low number of Black doctors in the U.S., many of her young patients are not accustomed to encountering female doctors like Bowen-Jallow.
