Why This Matters?
How We Help.
At the Premed Advisory Program, we respond to this challenge by intervening early. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship rotations, professional development opportunities, and a supportive community, our annual conference gives students the tools and confidence they need to persist in healthcare. By reaching students in their first year (especially those from first-generation and underrepresented backgrounds) we provide the skills, networks, and sense of belonging that help transform potential dropouts into future healthcare leaders.
