"It was useful for students to see how African Americans have contributed to the field of medicine. Lesson 4 was most beneficial to my class. I teach principles of STEM, and this lesson paired nicely with our content. I wanted to give the students some exposure into the history of medicine, and this lesson aided in that discussion."
