MedBridge: Building Physician–Scientists in the Americas
Connecting Stanford graduate and medical students with Latin American medical students to build a cross-border mentorship network in research and academic development.
Many Latin American medical students lack access to research mentors, limiting their development as clinician–scientists. MedBridge connects them with Stanford graduate students — including MDs, PhDs, and master’s students — who have research experience and can offer guidance through the U.S. postgraduate mentorship model. The project aims to pilot a structured mentorship program, provide training resources, and develop a scalable framework to strengthen regional research capacity.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
