Students In Medicine Mentorship Program
To provide mentorship to 7th-10th grade students to inspire them to reach their true potential and pursue careers in medicine and other health-related professions in an effort to increase the number and diversity of the healthcare workforce
Why was the Students in Medicine Mentorship Program created?
Shortage of Health care workers
- By 2030, there will be a shortage of 15 million healthcare workers worldwide. The number of people in the United States alone over the age of 65 is expected to double requiring more healthcare.
- Due to COVID-19, opportunities for shadowing have become very limited which further decreases exposure to healthcare fields
Lack of Diversity in Health care
- There is a large disparity in the amount of diversity amongst healthcare professionals disproportionate to the population, especially amongst Hispanics and African Americans
- Students without access to family in healthcare do not get exposed to the same opportunities and are less likely to choose these professions
