Had a great time at the Diversity in Medicine Conference @DiMConf2023 hosted by @UMichMedSchool. Peter Awad and I shared about our efforts at @WMUMedicine to promote accessibility to healthcare education with a monthly mentorship program for local high school students. pic.twitter.com/5SgHcoQoVF

Increasing Accessibility to Healthcare Education: Encouraging Kalamazoo Youth to Explore their Passion in Medicine
March 11, 2023
I designed this poster about program I lead with a group of my medical school colleagues called HEAL (Health Education and Advocacy Link). This is a partnership program between the Kalamazoo Public School System and the Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine providing a free grant-funded longitudinal curriculum to 10th grade students consisting of monthly Saturday morning sessions during the academic school year.
Medical students facilitate each session with guest speakers, student mentorship, self-improvement skills workshops, team-based learning activities, and interactive clinical applications.
