UC Irvine PRIME-LC

Program in Medical Education for the Latino Community @UCIrvineSOM. Partnering together for health equality, serving our Latino population in California!

[UC Irvine PRIME-LC @prime_lc]

At least 7 current @primelc and LEAD ABC medical students at @UCIMedSchool spent time in @theHELIOSlab during their journey to med school.

Please consider supporting them on #UCIGivingDay!

Relatively “small” expenses can put underrepresented students at a disadvantage in their journey to the health professions.

For #UCIGivingDay, help #leveltheplayingfield! Support @theHELIOSlab pre-health pipeline program in @UCIMedSchool Family Medicine! https://t.co/3pKamK9aMu
