Dr. Leon L. Haley, Jr., Bridge to the Future of Emergency Medicine Academy

This program is specifically designed to provide Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) rising second-year medical students the opportunity to participate in an in-person, all-expenses-paid, two-week mentorship program at the ABEM headquarters in East Lansing, Michigan. During the Haley Academy, students had the opportunity to be immersed in educational and hands-on experiences in critical topics related to disparities in health care, leadership, physician wellness, public health issues, applying for residency, and more. Students connected with thought leaders in URiM and completed a short portfolio project at the end of the experience. In addition, students traveled to nearby Emergency Medicine residency programs for hands-on simulation and educational experiences.
