The Department of Medical Education develops and supports the next generation of healthcare providers by creating opportunities for learners to explore, prepare for, and pursue careers in medicine.
We connect learners through our Pathways to Medicine program at every stage with experiences, resources, and relationships that help turn interest in medicine into achievable goals.
Explore
Early outreach introduces learners to STEM, medicine, and healthcare through engaging, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and help learners imagine their future.
Prepare
As learners progress, pathway programs provide deeper engagement through academic enrichment, mentorship, and career exploration. These experiences help students build the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for their next educational step and future healthcare jobs.
Progress
College and postbaccalaureate pathways help learners navigate the transition into medical school and other health professions programs through academic preparation, professional development, mentorship, and connections to educational opportunities.
