YPI Rural Program
Even though 20% of the United States population lives in rural areas, only 11% of physicians practice in these areas. Rural Young Physician’s Initiative 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 rural communities. Through YPI we provide a positive and engaging mentorship experience to prepare high school and undergraduate students in their journey toward becoming a future physician.
The participants are provided with the necessary support and guidance to develop a structured plan and direction to achieve their goals. We have relationships with local high schools and colleges where we host monthly events to increase exposure to the medical field, share meaning and purpose of medicine, how to prepare for a medical education, and what it is like being a doctor.
