The National Society of Black Women in Medicine, formerly known as Black Women in Medicine Inc., was founded on the campus of Florida State University on October 14th 2017 by Amber Balkcom and Ashlei Phillips. The two students had the idea on a walk back to the campus library. They both agreed that there was a need for more representation of minority women in medicine and scientific disciplines. That night in lieu of studying Amber typed up the mission statement of Black Women in Medicine with Ashlei by her side designing the infamous logo. They were prepared to take on a new challenge that later transformed into a movement.
