Doing right by diversity isn’t in the NFL’s DNA. But their venture with the league’s Physicians Society (NFLPS) and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS) is a great diagnosis.

The participants in the second year of the NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiatives have been announced, as 31 students will have their clinical rotations begin at training camp in the program that’s aimed at leading more diverse medical students into pursuing careers in sports medicine.

Fourteen of this year’s students are from HBCUs, which included Howard University College of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, and Morehouse School of Medicine. There are also two students from Charles R. Drew University, which is recognized as a Historically Black Graduate Institution. Last year’s program only featured 14 students who worked with eight teams. In year two, the program is league-wide.

“The NFL and our club medical staffs are thrilled to welcome these impressive medical students from around the country to the league this season,” said NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills in a statement. “The league-wide expansion of the NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiative this season demonstrates strong interest in sports medicine from diverse and under-represented medical students and is indicative of our clubs’ commitment to diversity in all facets of the game.”

“We are incredibly excited to participate in the second year of such an impactful and important diversity program,” said NFLPS President and San Francisco 49ers head team physician Timothy McAdams, MD in a statement. “Mentorship is a critical component of recruiting students into our field, so we’re thrilled to immerse more talented medical students with diverse backgrounds into the NFL clubs’ medical communities. We’re all looking forward to watching this program continue to grow and impact more medical students in years to come.”
