Medical Physician Preparation Academy (MPP Academy)

The Medical Physician Preparation (MPP) Academy is designed to increase the number of high achieving students who are academically and mentally prepared with the social-emotional skills to: 1) complete medical school and 2) become licensed to practice medicine in a medical specialty that provides a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. The MPP Academy was built to work in partnership with Medical Schools and other stakeholders in the medical community to build a diverse pipeline of future medical students, as early as the 4th grade, to the physician workforce. The MPP Academy offers students a variety of academic and career experiences, and personalized guidance over the course of our pipeline programs to help students break through the barriers that exist on the path to medical school. The MPP Academy is open to high achieving elementary (4th & 5th grade students), secondary (6th-12th grade students), and undergraduate students from all backgrounds who might not have considered a career as a medical physician or have already committed to pursuing a career in medicine.
