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.
