Our Mission

The mission of the MedAchieve Scholars Program is to provide High School Students from underserved communities and underprivileged backgrounds with an introduction to the Basic and Medical Sciences.

Our Goals:​

​

1: To encourage high school students from the Harlem community to become physicians and health care providers thus increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine.

​

2: To encourage future health care providers to work in Harlem or another Primary Health Care Shortage Area within the United States.

​

3: To foster curiosity in Medical Science and encourage students to pursue science majors in college.

​

4: To strengthen scientific principles and practices that compliment the education provided by each student’s High School science curriculum.

​

5: To provide a basic hands- on laboratory experience with an introduction to laboratory safety practices and protocol.

​

6: To introduce students to Osteopathic Medicine.

​

7: To promote healthy living and provide students with an understanding of pertinent topics in healthcare which are prevalent in their community.
