“I feel confident that I can create safe spaces for vulnerable populations to feel respected and heard. I think as a physician this will help me create strong rapport with my patients and also more quickly and efficiently get to the correct diagnosis.”
- 2019 Gold Summer Student Fellow Katherine Ku, Touro University, CA

The
Gold Student Summer Fellowship program
offers opportunities for medical students to complete a research or service project related to community health. Projects must be focused on understanding and/or enhancing culturally competent practice, developing skills to become a relationship-centered physician, and addressing a public health need in an underserved community or population. We are particularly interested in projects that encourage collegial and interprofessional teamwork and will encourage a lasting or systemic change.
