The Pathways to Excellence Med Immersion Day is part of a larger Pathways to Excellence in Medicine Initiative, made possible by the Independence Blue Cross Foundation, Institute for Health Equity. The goal of the Med Immersion Day is for medical students from underrepresented backgrounds to build community amongst their peers from medical schools across the Philadelphia region and to gain insight and inspiration about what their journey in medical school and a career in academic medicine can look like. In this differentiated, immersive experience students will gain skills that set them up for success in medical school and beyond. We want to make sure Philadelphia has a diverse healthcare workforce with providers who understand the thriving culture of the city and its people.
