    WHAT IS YMM & WHY IS IT NEEDED?

     

    Built to Bridge the Gaps in Healthcare

    YMM was designed to empower a future healthcare workforce to become experts in their own communities. There are some problems in modern medicine today that we simply are not well equipped to solve because we have yet to assemble the best teams.

     

    YMM is built to be a bridge for youth from communities traditionally underrepresented in healthcare to excel in the spaces and places that can inspire hope. Becoming competent and compassionate healthcare professionals is a by product of unlocked leadership potential in our communities.

     

    We are recruiting, mentoring, and retaining a talented and diverse workforce to drive performance to a new level in healthcare. We are Youth Medical Mentorship.

    "Education is all a matter of building bridges."

    After School Programming & Parent Book Clubs

    WEEKLY

    We keep students interested in the health sciences through partnering with their science teachers and parents by introducing mentors early through after school programming. This is specifically at schools where other programs can connect and reinforce a sustainble pipeline for future healthcare professionals.

    White Coat Hall of Fame

    FALL AT UNION

    We connect schools with their alumni networks to portray various pathways for student success in the healthcare professions being seeing and meeting those who have found success before them. The White Coat Hall of Fame also provides the opportunity to honor the teachers and staff that mold future healthcare professionls in the community.

    Internships & Shadowing Opportunities

    WEEKLY (OSU & St Francis)

    By partnering with local hospital networks, YMM is able to establish and provide more real-world exposure for students to actively see the over 140 medical and 80 allied health professional careers to get a better idea of what their educational goals should be, what a future in healthcare looks like, and being able to establish mentors that can help mold a developing workforce.

    Medical Conferences

    SPRING, SUMMER, & WINTER

    Two YMM Summits will involve students meeting mentors at every stage of their own growth and an introduction to clinical skills. Near peer and long-term mentoring exisits as 7th-12th, college, medical students, residents, and attendings will all be at these events. There is also a larger BMWC Summit that is double in size and pulls students from the above interventions for sustained exposure

    Guest Speaking

    2009

    We partner with schools and events to provide positive experiences for students in medicine while also helping ensure schools can host science fairs, health fairs,summer camps, and STEM nights by having the resources and community involvement they need.

Every week is a different profession and every month is a different scope of practice for student to be immersed in what is possible in regards to having a major impact in ways we can serve each other with science in our own community.
