Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine Virtual Dash for Diversity 5K

September 29, 2020 Christie Williams

NSU MD will host its inaugural Virtual Dash for Diversity 5K from November 24-30, 2020. We will come together virtually, across Florida and from coast-to-coast, to raise funds to support our pipeline programs with local middle and high schools. These enrichment programs engage middle and high school students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and underrepresented in medicine through mentorship and various science, technology, engineering, and math related activities. Through these programs, we aim to encourage a diverse group of students to consider a career in medicine, as well as to give them the support that they need to make these dreams a reality. Funds raised from the 5K will go directly into these pipeline programs to help us continue to grow our engagement with the community.
