Pioneers of the "Pipeline"
Mount Sinai School of Medicine was one of the first in the country to develop affiliations with high schools in indigent inner-city communities. Over the past thirty years, the School has initiated an array of educational enrichment programs designed to encourage minority young people from our community - and, through our medical student recruitment initiatives, from around the country - to pursue careers in health care.
From their genesis of outreach at the founding of the School, the community initiatives have matured into solidly structured, accredited in-house programs, some of which are being transplanted back into the community through the school system. The common denominator is the use of the medical setting as a vehicle for enhancing academic performance, motivation, and career exploration opportunities.
