Students & Careers

Build the career. Change the outcomes.

Workforce development is how a movement lasts. Here's every door we can open for you — and when to walk through it.

What you get access to

Map the route from your major to clinical, research, policy and industry roles.

Summer and semester placements with health systems, biotech and public health agencies.

Funding for tuition, board exams, applications and relocation.

Medical, nursing, pharmacy, public health and PhD program guidance.

Matched one-to-one with HBCU alumni already in the field.

Cohort programs that build the skills clinical training doesn't teach.

Résumés, interviews, personal statements and negotiation.

Roles from partners actively recruiting HBCU talent.

Nobody gets into healthcare by accident. Here's what to do, and when.

Step 1
First year
Declare your interest early. Join a pre-health student organization, meet your advisor and start a shadowing log.
Step 2
Sophomore
Get your first research or clinical exposure. Apply for summer programs in the fall — deadlines are earlier than you think.
Step 3
Junior
Take the entrance exam prep seriously, build relationships with three recommenders and apply for funded summer internships.
Step 4
Senior
Applications, interviews and gap-year planning. Use our mentors to pressure-test your personal statement.
Step 5
After graduation
Match, hire or enroll — then come back and mentor the student who is exactly where you were.

Direct-to-institution awards for students in nursing, pharmacy, allied health and pre-med tracks.

Covering MCAT, NCLEX, GRE, DAT registration and the application fees that quietly end careers.

Small, fast awards for the laptop, the flight home, the rent gap — the things that derail a semester.

Paid summer research so students never have to choose between a lab and a paycheck.

Every student in the network can be paired with an HBCU graduate working in the field they're aiming for. No cost, no gatekeeping.
