The Pipeline Program is a multi-tiered mentorship initiative that aims to inspire high school students to pursue careers in health sciences through hands-on learning experiences. Medical residents, students, and faculty will mentor cohorts of 24 high school students, 16 undergraduates, and 4 medical and public health students. Public health students can serve as curriculum teachers or evaluators. The program involves case study sessions in the spring and seeks applications from those interested in teaching roles by September 12th.
