Diverse Medicine Recruitment Center

We are excited to announce that PreMed STAR is transitioning to Diverse Medicine Recruitment Center.  As our community has grown, it continues to increase in diversity and the interest and concerns of our members is becoming more evident.  To meet your needs, we are placing a greater emphasis on providing opportunities for development and recruitment to individuals from diverse backgrounds.  Here’s what you can expect!!

  1. Increased culture driven content.  The truth is, diversity drives excellence.  This has been well studied from the sciences to business.  As a matter of fact, we know that diversity helps increase the bottom line in business.  That being the case, it’s essential that we include culturally relevant content to edify our members.  Many organizations are scared to address such topics, however our mission is to develop tomorrow’s leaders in medicine.  Leaders don’t run from challenging discussions and because that is true, we understand that it is in the best interest of our community to provide the necessary content to prepare you to engage in these topics.
  2. Expanding beyond premeds.  Our intent has never been to limit the resources in this community to premeds alone. Unfortunately, the name PreMed STAR has done just that.  Achieving optimal health outcomes is a task that goes well beyond doctors.  Physician Assistants Nurse Practitioners, etc. are critical in this mission and just like those who will have MD or DO following their names, these individuals are drastically lack the resources to be successful.  Furthermore, just because a student gets into medical school doesn’t mean that they’ve got everything figured out from that point on.  Honestly, it only gets harder and more support is needed!  We are equipped to provide some of that support, therefore feel obligated to do so.
  3. Increased services and products.  Finally, with the introduction of Diverse Medicine Recruitment Center, we will provide more services to help develop our members into leaders.  Our intent here is to offer affordable services that our students can take advantage of and see meaningful results from their utilization. For example, quite a few of you have already taken advantage of the PreHealth Market.  Such things help level the playing field for individuals with limited financial resources.  By doing this, we are able to ensure some of our best students don’t get left behind simply because they lacked the resources to succeed.

We want you all to know that we are here to help you succeed!  There are plenty of resources in our community to help you do just that.  In the end, our goal is to ensure that you all become leaders in the medical field with hearts of servitude!  You all will be the ones responsible for ensuring a bright future in health for our nation and world.
