Diversity in Healthcare

Representation in healthcare is critical to patient outcomes. According to a recent Forbes article highlighting a University of Pennsylvania study:


  • Black and Hispanic Americans account for nearly one-third of the U.S. population but just 10% of doctors and 11% of medical students.
  • Medical students tend to come from privileged backgrounds. Over 75% of med students come from families in the top two quintiles of household income.

What are the major barriers to entry?


  • The cost of education
  • The costs of exam preparation
  • Lack of diverse role models and advisors

Microgrants

Costs preparing for entrance exams, applications, interviews, books, supplies, uniforms, and licensing should not stop a promising student from entering a healthcare profession. These costs are at minimum an anxiety-inducing distraction, or the reason for a dream deferred or denied altogether. 


Nudge provides grants to qualified students to cover certain costs so they can continue a journey that will change their lives and close diversity gaps in healthcare.

Potential + Opportunity

Everyone with the will and motivation should have equitable access to opportunity. Nudge moves the needle.
