At least 7 current @primelc and LEAD ABC medical students at @UCIMedSchool spent time in @theHELIOSlab during their journey to med school. Please consider supporting them on #UCIGivingDay!
Relatively “small” expenses can put underrepresented students at a disadvantage in their journey to the health professions. For #UCIGivingDay, help #leveltheplayingfield! Support @theHELIOSlab pre-health pipeline program in @UCIMedSchool Family Medicine! thehelioslab.org/give

PRIME students @UofCalifornia are the future physician leaders we need to achieve health equity in CA! Funds will expand #PRIME & create Native American & Black/AA PRIMEs 🙏🏼 to our student leaders! & @GavinNewsom @NancySkinnerCA @AsmKevinMcCarty @PhilTing @SenJohnLaird
We did it! Gov. @GavinNewsom signed the state budget with $12.9M for @UofCalifornia PRIME & new programs focused on healthcare with CA Indian Tribes & Black communities. Thank you to all our advocates who stood up for health equity, access + workforce diversity. @UCAdvocacy (1/4)
