Introducing S.E.E.D. Next Generation!
This brand new project will work to mentor at-risk minority youth through their education in the medical field, including the path to become a physician assistant. The hope of this project is to promote cultural change in our profession beginning in our local community. Presentations to high schools in under-served communities will open new doors, show students that there are a number of physician assistants locally that share their cultural background, and provide mentorship to help motivate students through coursework, applications, and getting into a PA program.
If you know of a community or high school that would benefit from this program please contact us at theprojectseed@gmail.com
