AvenueM Webinar for Students Who Wish to Become Physicians!
October 24, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
FreeAvenueM is a community college to medical school pathway program that aims to reduce barriers to entry to medical and other healthcare careers. The new pathway, known as AvenueM (the M is for Medicine) will identify community college students interested in studying health sciences. Staff will provide academic support, ensure students’ seamless transfer to any of three participating four-year colleges, then steer them toward the UC Davis School of Medicine.
UC Davis School of Medicine will partner with three 4-year institutions – UC Davis, California State University (CSU), Sacramento, and Cal Poly Humboldt – and a network of community colleges, including Shasta College.
AvenueM aims to provide support and mentorship to students from communities that have traditionally been underrepresented in medicine (URiM) to become physicians, including but not exclusive to: Black, American Indian & Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Hispanic or Latino, Filipino, Hmong, Cambodian, Lao, Mien, and Vietnamese.
An information session is open to all students on Oct. 24 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. Interested counselors, school staff and students should register at this link:
