Pipeline Programs
NSU MD is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion through a partnership with the community!
We are investing in the next generation of healthcare professionals by partnering with local schools to help encourage, equip, and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. We aim to inspire these students to pursue a career in the medical field by providing mentorship and additional resources to enhance their academic experiences.
Blanche Ely High School Medical Magnet Program with Medical Science Coordinator, Miss Amy DeCelle, Center
The Journey into Medicine Mentorship Program is offered through a collaboration with NSU MD and the Blanche Ely High School Medical Magnet Program. The program runs for three months in the academic year. To be eligible to participate, students must be a high school Sophomore, Junior, or Senior, US citizen or permanent resident, and have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. We encourage students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine to participate in this program. Students are matched to Mentors who are clinical faculty at NSUMD. The overall goal of the program is to provide students from underrepresented in medicine backgrounds with an opportunity to develop skills that will increase their competitiveness for admission to schools of medicine. We hope to create a pipeline of interested students in the medical field. The three-month program will:
- Expose students to different facets of the medical profession
- Provide strategies and skills to navigate the application process to medical school.
- Provide students with a portfolio review
