In our support of medical and health related education and the importance of supporting Black and underrepresented students transforming themselves from youth, the IIMPM has joined with the Mayo Clinic and the Rochester branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to support education and certification.
RISE for Youth aims to create new pathways for success by providing students with critical educational and leadership skills, training, and long-term mentoring for successful careers in health care, science, and beyond.
The program offers to main education experiences:
- RISE High is a four-week program that engages high school juniors and seniors in a pre-college readiness program designed to enhance opportunities for post-secondary education and entry into the workforce. Participants will examine health care careers and will be partnered with mentors from Mayo Clinic. Through discussions and exploration of leadership and professional development topics, students will gain insightful knowledge, hands-on experience, and professionalism skills.
- RISE Up is a four-week program that provides employment preparation for post-secondary education students. Participants will examine health care careers and will be partnered with mentors from Mayo Clinic and the surrounding community. Through discussions and exploration of leadership and professional development topics, students will gain insightful knowledge, hands-on experience, and professionalism skills.
IIMPM recognises the need for youth education and the support of NAACP’s endeavours to make a more integrated and supportive community.
