While attending University High School in Newark, New Jersey, Dr. Sampson Davis, Dr. Rameck Hunt and Dr. George Jenkins bonded and shared their vision to stay together, attend college and become doctors. The three attended and received their B.S. degrees from Seton Hall University's Pre-Medicine/Pre-Dental Plus program, a curriculum designed to encourage minority students to follow careers in medicine. They became their own support system, studying and socializing almost exclusively with one another.

More than 13 years later, Drs. Davis, Hunt and Jenkins are proudly working to help their communities, while inspiring others to follow in their footsteps. They have published two New York Times best-selling books (We Beat the Street and The Pact); established a company (The Three Doctors, Inc., www.threedoctors.com) and a foundation (The Three Doctors Foundation, www.threedoctorsfoundation.org); and organized programs that focus on health, education, leadership and mentoring. Oprah Winfrey has named them "the premier role models of the world."
