“We are often told the limits of our capabilities to persist in the medical field by advisors, professors, peers, relatives. etc. This, alongside limited visible representation of physicians from marginalized and/or low-income backgrounds, and inadequate guidance on the path to medical school further contributes to the leaky pipeline. Empower was created to demystify the process of applying to medical school and provide tips and resources to maximize putting your best application forward from students and physicians who were once in your shoes.”
