A first-generation pre-medical program for underrepresented undergraduate students to promote matriculation to medical school

This project is supported by our office and other campus partners through a SASR grant. This research project focuses on a program designed to support first-generation pre-medicine students and increase their matriculation to medical school. The study will examine barriers to pursuing a medical or healthcare career among these students, how the program helps address those barriers, and eventual levels of medical school interview and admissions compared to non-first-generation peers.
