YPI can inspire & guide
Innovative Pre-Pipeline Program Getting into medical school can be a long process and difficult to navigate particularly for students from underserved communities due to the lack of access to medical mentorship and network. The Young Physicians Initiative provides early and interactive guidance to underserved middle school, high school and college students. We inspire students to pursue careers in medicine and pursue pipeline's opportunities by Being Present in their communities. When students see us in their classrooms, interact with us, then they are inspired to be like us. #DiversityInMedicine #BeingPresent |

Our model is sustainable and scalable. We started at one high schools in 2016 and currently operating over 10 schools across Georgia.
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. If you want YPI at your middle school, high school or college, ask your teacher or leadership to complete the application. |
