Benefits to UCSD School of Medicine

The SEPA Grant has brought some benefits to the Medical School at the University of California, San Diego.

• Interaction between Medical school faculty and normal high school students has been an eye opener for the doctors involved. This has increased awareness of the issues and barriers involved with increasing minority involvement in the health care professions.
• That same interaction has also confirmed them of the importance of working with these youth and reconfirmed belief in the potential of these same students.
• Participation in this grant has expanded the normal circle of relationships and broadened perspectives on possibilities for helping others in new ways.
• The funds from this grant have helped support highly gifted poeple in a setting where their skills can benefit society instead of dedicating time to more lucretive private practice.
