2015 DOCS Mentorship Program

October 3, 2015

Students, alumni, and physicians participating in the Doctors of Color (DOCS) Mentorship Program met in Chicago to launch the second year of the program. The DOCS program, a joint effort by CMS and the Cook County Physician’s Association, matches medical students with physician mentors and is designed to promote and support underrepresented minority medical students as they pursue careers in medicine. At this event, students from CMS and other medical schools in the Chicago area had a chance to meet and network with the physicians who volunteered to serve as mentors.
