The Problem
The Solution
Vituity Cares partners with local schools to enroll students who are from underrepresented backgrounds and are interested in healthcare. Empowering these students opens doors to a more diverse future healthcare workforce where these future leaders and providers will ensure better access to quality care for underserved patients.
OUR APPROACH
Develop Skills
Individualized Support
Develop and improve skill-set and knowledge of those students interested in healthcare careers through 1:1 personal and professional mentoring, networking opportunities, group educational sessions, and job shadowing.
Education Series
The mentorship cohort meets once a month to learn about topics from a diverse group of clinicians and other health professionals. These sessions consist of panel discussions, presentations, and workshops that support the mentees to achieve their next steps in their academic and/or career journey.
