The overall goal of the PathWAYS (Pathology Widens Avenues for Young Scientists) program is to increase the number of students from historically marginalized and underrepresented groups in the field of health sciences by providing research and clinical opportunities designed to build life science skills, develop a sense of community, and identify potential mentors who can guide students on a pathway to academic success. Increasing the diversity of students who pursue advanced degrees and careers in medicine and research will be our measure of success.
