🥼😷The Global Genes Rare Compassion program is committed to addressing inequities and disparities within the medical profession by pairing medical students and patients from underrepresented and/or minoritized communities with the goals of fostering meaningful patient-doctor relationships, improving cultural congruence, and nurturing future advocates in rare disease.
Each year, the program connects medical students with individuals and families with rare diseases to help foster meaningful doctor-patient relationships, inspire careers in rare disease care and research, and ultimately, through patient-centric listening and interactions, build the next generation of future medical professionals as key advocates for their patients.
This year, medical students will be provided the opportunity to meet with pediatric and adult patients in a 4-part rotation, and we are especially encouraging medical students and individuals with rare diseases from underrepresented and/or minoritized communities to participate in the program. #acrosscompassion #talkingtodoctors #rarecompassion
