Education
We are educating and inspiring the next generation of health care professionals. We support students on their pre-health journey, and our graduates go on to better their communities, heal patients, and develop life-changing treatments and cures.
Spanning all specialties of health care, from veterinary medicine to dentistry, nursing, and surgery, students gather knowledge in the classroom and receive invaluable, real-world experience.
This is education that changes the practice of health care.
“We don’t have many Native physicians trained in western medicine in my community. My relatives deserve a doctor who will fight and advocate for them.”
