Join us every 3rd Wednesday from 5pm-6pm starting May 2022 for our “COMPADRE COLLEGE” virtual prep series!
California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education and Health (COMPADRE) is a robust collaboration between UC Davis and OHSU medical schools and over 30 graduate medical education (GME) programs across 10 health care systems throughout northern California and Oregon. COMPADRE aims to recruit learners that want to address physician shortages in underserved urban, rural, and tribal communities that result in health disparities due to community members’ limited access to adequate health care.
COMPADRE College is an outreach program and webinar series for high school, undergraduate, and post-graduate students interested in serving rural and medically underserved communities as physicians.
These webinars will focus on:
-
early exposure to medical professions, professional identity development, and academic strategy for high school students with outreach events and hands-on activities.
-
guiding and preparing undergraduate/post-graduate pre-medical students through the medical school application process with workshops on different aspects of the medical school application and admissions process.

• Asian/Pacific
• Arab/Middle Eastern/Muslim/South Asian
• Black/African American
• Latinx/Hispanic
• Multiracial
Within each cultural category of this toolkit, you will find information on historical context, barriers to well-being, cultural beliefs, strengths and resiliency factors, and calls to action. In addition, you can find sample social media posts, downloadable images, culture-specific resources, worksheets, and more!
