The Pathway Initiative is not only dedicated to supporting our students every step of the way, from high school all the way through medical residency, but is also designed as a positive feedback loop. Students can apply and be selected at any of the three main entry points: (1) High School, (2) College, and (3) Medical School.
When students complete our programs through residency, they provide feedback and support for those behind them.
This longitudinal, cross-generational, and end-to-end wrap-around program builds a community of dedicated and passionate individuals that support each other while getting support from seasoned professionals at the same time.
