Corewell Health - Pledge to Act
Corewell Health - Five Areas of Focus
The Visiting Scholars Program:
The Corewell Health Lakeland Office of Medical Education sponsors two scholarship opportunities as a supplement to the visiting learner program for medical students. The program provides scholarships to two categories of learners, Underrepresented Minorities (URM) and those from a Disadvantaged Background (DB). The program also provides mentoring and networking for fourth year students.
The mission of the Visiting Scholars Program is to enrich medical education, advance research and strengthen our clinical practices by fostering a culture of inclusion. It is because of our commitment to improve the health of the communities we serve that we are dedicated to recruiting a diverse class of residents. We believe our community of diverse patients warrants diversity in our physicians.
