HSI学者计划 Mentors: A Key Piece of the Puzzle

志愿者 mentors are an essential element of our HSI学者计划. By sharing their time with our talented and influential scholars, mentors make a long-lasting impact on the next generation of Hispanic biomedical science and health care professionals. 通过投资我们的拉美裔学者, we’re also investing in the future impact and transformation they will be a part of in communities that have historically greater health risks.
