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

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.
