Mission
The Yale School of Medicine Black Postdoctoral Association (YBPA) addresses the unmet needs of Black postdocs and focuses on the success and well-being of Black postdocs by taking the necessary steps to generate positive experiences in academia and elsewhere.

The organization works harmoniously with the Yale Postdoctoral Association (YPA); however, extends its objectives to address issues specific to Black postdocs that are often overlooked, such as representation and visibility, resource availability and opportunities for career development, sense of community and support, and retention.
