Diversity in medicine saves lives. That idea supports two programs at The Ohio State University that were highlighted at the June session of the Wexner Medical Center Board of Trustees meeting today.

Sophia Tolliver, a third-year resident in the Department of Family Medicine, said the program helped her bridge a career in public health to one in medicine. She said the program improved her study skills and prepared her for medical school.

MEDPATH is a one-year program to develop the knowledge and skills of students before they enter medical school. The program is designed to increase the number of students underrepresented in medicine and students from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who graduate from medical school.
