SUPPORT LEARNERS WITH PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES

We're passionate about supporting the development of future medical education and measurement leaders. 

To advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the medical and measurement professions, NBME is investing in pathway programs and scholarships for underrepresented and underserved learners in these fields. Supporting the cultivation of a diverse and culturally competent workforce can improve health outcomes and reduce care disparities for marginalized communities.

Pathway Programs

Through our collaborations and contributions to these pathway programs, we’ve supported the development of future medical and measurement professionals from secondary to postgraduate school.

Association of STEMM Pathway and Bridge Programs
This innovative organization galvanizes pathway programs at medical schools and non-profit organizations. NBME sponsorship of the inaugural and second annual conferences led to fostering best practices and innovative research. Our resources aided creation of a community of practice for pathway program leaders and staff.
Building the Next Generation of Academic Physicians
NBME helped fund BNGAPs Academic Medicine Writing Fellowship, supporting diverse students to bolster their research and writing skills with a goal of publishing a scholarly product and receiving career development education about academic medicine as a profession.
Consortium of DEI Health Educators
NBME’s grant helped fund the establishment of the Philadelphia Area DEI Medical Pathway Program created through a collaboration between DEI administrators from Philadelphia area medical schools. This program supports sophomores attending local colleges from underrepresented and underserved populations with the goal of increasing the number of students matriculating into local medical schools.
Center for Pathway Programs at Duke
NBME’s grant supports the Center’s development of a comprehensive tool to assist with program recruitment, participant tracking and program evaluation.
Health Career Collaborative
NBME’s investment supported this organization’s mission of providing high school students across the United States from low-income, underrepresented groups with mentorship, an engaging health curriculum and exposure to health careers.
