Abstract:
In the U.S., disparities in the healthcare workforce have led to inadequate health outcomes in communities of historically underserved groups. To address the lack of resources and opportunities in health career education for historically underserved group students, Project MED was established. The mission is to expose high school students to the breadth of opportunities in the healthcare field and to prepare students for successful careers in healthcare. Through 3 main pillars-Learn, Lead, and Launch-Project MED has developed a robust repository of 20 workshops, recruited and trained eight mentors, and curated a database of ≥100 opportunities for over 50 students.
