Visiting Student Scholarship for Students Underrepresented in Medicine

As a program, we believe that intersectional diversity in our team members adds invaluable perspective to intellectual discourse and leads to excellence in patient care. We recognize that there are groups who have been historically excluded from medicine, and we are committed to taking meaningful steps toward dismantling this history. As part of ongoing efforts to recruit, mentor, and support a diverse group of physicians, we are pleased to offer a Visiting Student Scholarship for Students Underrepresented in Medicine.
