Mentoring Students for Health Professions

Mentoring the current generation of higher education students is an important contributor to eliminating health disparities, giving the small percentage of students from underserved backgrounds currently in the health professions (e.g., 9 percent of nurses, 6% of medical doctors and 5% of dentists). Developing a cadre of allied health professionals who are well-prepared and committed to underserved populations will provide the human capital needed to tackle health disparities.

BHL Center mentoring programs include:

Florida Alliance Initiative
Mentoring Multicultural Students for Health Professions (MEMS)
Scientific Preparation for Students in the Human Sciences (SciencPrep)
