Abstract

ACCESS, a student-led mentorship program affiliated with Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, demonstrates a practical, effective approach to addressing inequity in medical education. ACCESS provides personalized, zero-cost mentorship to equity-deserving applicants who face social, financial, and medical barriers that result in underrepresentation in medical school. Our mentorship model showcases significant success in application and interview outcomes, as well as positive feedback from participants. Here, we offer a replicable blueprint for medical schools across Canada. This paper highlights the effectiveness of student-led initiatives in promoting diversity and inclusion in healthcare education and aims to inspire similar programs, fostering a more diverse and inclusive future healthcare workforce.

通过医学预科导师计划,促进医学院招生的公平性、多样性和包容性。
ACCESS 是隶属于舒立克医学与牙科学院的一项由学生主导的导师计划,它展示了一种实用、有效的方法来解决医学教育中的不平等问题。ACCESS 为有资格进入医学院的申请者提供个性化、零成本的指导,这些申请者面临着社会、经济和医疗方面的障碍,导致他们进入医学院的人数不足。我们的指导模式在申请和面试结果以及参与者的积极反馈方面都取得了巨大成功。在此,我们为加拿大各地的医学院提供了一个可复制的蓝图。本文强调了以学生为主导的倡议在促进医疗保健教育的多样性和包容性方面的有效性,旨在激励类似的计划,培养一支更加多元化和包容性的未来医疗保健人才队伍。
