Minority Health Professions Mentors Program
The students are “exposed” to these role-models, - individuals who look like the students and may have grown up in similar neighborhoods like them - building relationships and sharing stories of their challenges and successes.
These mentorships are the foundation of our program, as they open our student’s eyes and give them the opportunity to dream, to realize that they too can become doctors.
For the past five years, MHPMP has sponsored recruiting conferences for more than 500, sixth through twelfth grade African American students and their parents to learn about potential medical school, professional healthcare programs and career/job opportunities from African American healthcare professionals.
