New Organization at UF!

 

My name is Vishnu Nanduri and I am a senior pre-medical student at UF. I started an organization called Pre-Health Rising that operates via social media. We create online content to educate the pre-health community on health disparities education and to highlight diverse voices within the pre-health/medical community. So far, we have built a great team but would like to welcome new members to continue to uplift the voices of pre-health students. We are launching our second wave of applications and I was wondering if you could share this on the pre-health listserv. 

One of the challenges we have faced is outreach and we want to reach as many pre-health students as we can! The pre-health listserv helped me find great volunteering opportunities at UF. Hopefully, our organization can reach interested pre-health students through the listserv. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, below is information on our organization, the application, and some helpful graphics.

 

Hello everyone, I want to share with you all a great volunteer opportunity! I am part of the Pre-Health Rising team and we are looking for passionate individuals from all academic and cultural backgrounds to help create online content on health disparities education and to highlight diverse voices within the pre-health/medical community. Our application is open from today, October 21st to Sunday, November 15th at 11:59 pm (EST). Check out the attached images to see what we are about, use the link below to sign up and learn more, and be sure to follow us on Instagram!

In light of the recent protests and uprisings across the country, many educational and medical institutions are re-evaluating their communities, asking critical questions about their role in perpetuating racism and discrimination within the healthcare field. However, we do not know if this “progress” and awakening of the medical community will be long-term and center the voices of students of diverse backgrounds. Thus, Pre-Health Rising came to be. As students in the medical community, we can use our voices to amplify our experiences, ideas, and perspectives to educate each other about the realities of the pre-health community and medical field. Join us in educating our community about health disparities and fostering an inclusive platform for students of all backgrounds to express themselves.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration, the Pre-Health Rising team appreciates of your help!

 

Sincerely,
