Improving healthcare in underserved communities

Our vision: All communities should have access to high-quality healthcare. We pursue that vision by assisting students from underserved communities to become healthcare providers in their communities.

  • Identifying students from underserved communities
  • Helping those students through college and into health professional school
  • Guiding medical students into residency programs committed to serving healthcare shortage areas
  • Encouraging residents to join practices and clinics in Health Professional Shortage Areas
  • Encouraging students to take positions with the Indian Health Service and National Health Service Corps
