The paper, "Partnering Medical Students with Barbers to Cut Hypertension in Black Men," examined a program that Penn medical students established in partnership with West Philadelphia barber Darryl Thomas. Members of the Student National Medical Association visit the barbershop and provide blood pressure screenings to customers.
