MMA Launches Online Resource for Students Exploring Careers in Healthcare 

October 24, 2024

The MMA has launched a new website to support the healthcare career aspirations of students from across the state.   

The efforts that led to the creation of this website stemmed from a recommendation of the MMA’s Barriers to Workforce Diversification in Physician Education, Training and Licensure Task Force. 

The website includes information about pathway programs and other resources that provide mentorship, training, exposure, and inspiration to students interested in healthcare careers in Minnesota.  

The website is geared toward elementary, middle school, and high school students in the state, as well as their families/guardians, school guidance counselors, and STEM teachers.   

The website was developed and launched with partial funding from UCare.
