YPI Guides & Inspires

Innovative Pre-Pipeline Program

​Less than 15% of American doctors come from underserved backgrounds and communities. Getting into medical school can be a long and difficult process, especially for these individuals, due to lack of access to medical mentorship and network. YPI was created to address this disparity.

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

YPI started with one medical student working in one high school in 2017
Today, we are a team of +50 medical students serving over 20 locations
