YPI Guides & Inspires
Innovative Pre-Pipeline Program
​Less than 15% of American doctors come from underserved backgrounds and communities. YPI was created to address this disparity in medicine. Due to lack of access to medical mentorship and network, getting into medical school can be a long and difficult process, especially for students from underserved communities.

The Young Physicians Initiative ​provides interactive guidance to underserved middle school, high school, and college students. We inspire them to pursue careers in medicine by Being Present in their communities.

We created a a "residency training" model for medical students to train each others to be effectively involved in the community and inspire the next generation of diverse doctors.
