Hi everyone,
My classmates and I at the University of Washington School of Medicine are starting a national campaign to change med school requirements so that "Dreamer" (DACA) students can apply and join us as classmates and colleagues. Dreamers are applicants who were brought to the US illegally as children, and now share our dream of serving patients as doctors. (Currently, there's only ONE med school in the country accepting applications from these students: Stritch School of Medicine).
We've built a website that connects the work on this issue at every allopathic and osteopathic medical school. If you share our vision of opening med schools to a broader, more diverse pool of applicants, please open a chapter at your school by activating the petition for your school on our site: medstudents4dreamers.org. Opening a chapter (activating the petition) at your school only takes about five minutes. The site has all the high-yield information you need to learn about this issue, and simple, quick steps to take action.
Many thanks,
