Philadelphia Area DEI Medical Pathway Program (PADMed)

The PADMed program is a pipeline initiative designed to provide a wide array of support, encompassing mentorship, academic advising, and practical medical experiences, from the sophomore year of undergraduate studies through to graduation. Targeting undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minorities and economically disadvantaged students in the Greater Philadelphia area, PADMed aims to increase their enrollment in local medical and various biomedical/health profession training programs.
