Health Professions Workforce Diversity
Increasing the Pipeline through TEACH
(Teen Education and Careers in Healthcare)
In order to increase the diversity of the physician workforce, we believe that students must be exposed to the possibility of a career in health care as early as possible. This service initiative will foster interest in health care careers by training premedical students to engage and mentor high school students from underserved communities who are interested in health profession careers. The hope is to create sustainable programs that will include a tutoring component to assist these high school students with math, reading, science, and problem based learning skills as well as a training component to empower them to enact public health and preventive health change within their communities.
