01  Advocacy

iHELP is committed to advocating for equitable medical and healthcare-related school admissions practices throughout the U.S. We also work to ensure that students and professionals have the support and resources they need to succeed within their respective health-related fields.

02  Education

iHELP provides online and in-person professional development opportunities for current and aspiring healthcare professionals. In addition, our youth engagement programs and activities provide K-12 students a number of opportunities to gain direct exposure to various health-related fields.

03 Mentorship

At iHELP our focus is building and sustaining pipelines to various healthcare professions where historic underrepresentation of Blacks is evident. We do this by ensuring that substantive mentor/mentee relationships are built at every level, from the K-12 student to the mid-career professional.
