Our vision
The main goal of our program
The main goal of our program is to generate an interest and excitement about medicine in youth populations that are typically overlooked. These populations include young children in elementary schools and community centers, as well as those from underserved and disadvantaged community environments where there are challenges that prevent them from accessing programs like iCanBeADoctor.

Our Beliefs
We believe our program will result in a more diverse representation of medical students who may have otherwise chosen different academic and career paths due to lack of awareness or interest in the profession.
We also believe that young children can imagine themselves in a variety of professional roles when they grow up, and that is why generating awareness and interest in more than one profession at a time is critical during the formative years of childhood. For this reason, iCanBeADoctor will collaborate with compatible programs that centralize a child’s exploration of the self within the context of unlimited future opportunities.
