First Generation Students in Health

The purpose of First Generation Students in Health is to support and empower first-generation college students who are pursuing careers in health-related fields. This organization aims to bridge the information and opportunity gap faced by students without familial ties to the medical or health professions by: (1) Connecting members with a wide range of health professionals through guest speaker events, panels, and networking opportunities; (2) Providing accessible resources to learn about different health professions, application processes, and academic preparation; (3) Creating a supportive community that fosters mentorship, collaboration, and the development of long-term personal and professional skills essential for success in health careers.
