Mentorship Program
Mentorship is a cornerstone of the Future Healers of the Coastal Bend's mission to level the playing field for students pursuing careers in healthcare. Many students lack the role models and resources that are crucial for navigating the path to medical and healthcare professions. Our mentorship program addresses this gap by providing tailored support and inspiration, ensuring that every student, regardless of background, has the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Through mentorship, we aim to foster a diverse and well-prepared generation of healthcare professionals dedicated to making a positive impact on their communities.

Coming Summer 2025 - Summer Research Internship
This upcoming summer, we will offer an in-person summer research internship designed to provide students with hands-on experience in research methodologies and techniques. Over the course of six weeks, participants will gain practical skills in data analysis and literature review, as well as an overview of basic laboratory techniques. Working in groups, students will engage in a research project. At the end of the internship, they will present their research findings, demonstrating the skills and insights they have developed throughout the program. This internship offers a valuable opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the research process, develop practical skills, and collaborate with their peers.
