The 医学护照 program (P2M) is a program developed to promote healthcare 职业生涯s among underserved and underrepresented populations. The program targets Pontiac middle school students, to inspire them students to pursue a 职业生涯 in healthcare. This is achieved in a multi-faceted way during the academic year: tailored monthly in-classroom interactive sessions led by medical students (2017: one classroom with 25 students; 2018: six classrooms with nearly 200 students), healthcare-related experiential activities at the School of 医学 (OUWB) and the Troy Beaumont Clinical Skills Center, and a year-long pen-pal/mentoring program encouraging adolescents to discuss academic, 职业生涯, 的社会性, 或者其他问题.

The P2M program has collaborated with two OUWB student interest groups, the American Medical Women’s Association and the Pediatric Interest Group to accomplish various aspects of this multi-faceted program. These student groups create longitudinal relationships with middle school students through the regularly scheduled in-classroom sessions and can use this relationship to recruit students for experiential activities at OUWB. Members of the Pediatric Interest Group recently presented on their programming at the 2019 University of Michigan Conference on Adolescent Health.
