A career exploration program for high achieving high school students who are interested in becoming physicians
Heart disease is the most common cause of death for Americans from every gender, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class. However, despite the gains that some of these groups have made in medical school graduations rates over the past two decades, women and people of color remain significantly underrepresented in cardiology. Through targeted outreach to diverse and talented high school students, we hope to cultivate an interest in cardiology and develop a mentorship program for future cardiologists from diverse backgrounds.
