Medical Professionals and Students Mentoring and Guiding Inner City Students in STEM and Medicine
The Solution: Our Mission Statement
Medicine for Education’s sole purpose is to bridge the gap between education and medicine and to focus on the character development of student physicians and the character and academic development of under-served high school students interested in medical profession
OUR LATEST EVENTS

What is the problem?: The STEM education Gap
In the inner city there are a lack educational opportunities and exposure to STEM careers and resources for our students. Students in these communities that wish to achieve goals such as becoming physicians are hindered as under-served populations are not prepared for a career in medicine.
