捆绑SM社区 Mentorships in Healthcare (MMH) is a non-profit initiative offering longitudinal mentorship and skill-building workshops for CEGEP students from backgrounds that are currently underrepresented in health professional programs at 捆绑SM社区.
The mission of MMH is to empower CEGEP students from Black, Indigenous, rural, and lower socioeconomic backgrounds to pursue careers in healthcare. Spearheaded by students who are currently enrolled in health-related programs at 捆绑SM社区 and who identify with one or more of these underrepresented groups, MMH aims to foster strength and build resilience in CEGEP students by facilitating mentoring relationships that are based on similarly lived experiences, and by providing workshops on individual development planning and personal, academic, and professional skill-building. The goal of MMH is to nurture the potential of students from underrepresented groups by ensuring they receive optimal exposure and targeted support during critical periods in their personal and academic lives.
Working under the guidance of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Widening Participation Committee and the Social Accountability and Community Engagement office, the vision of MMH is to make health professional programs within 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences more representative of the communities that their graduates will ultimately serve.
