Become a Friend of ElevateMeD
Our friends and sponsors are imperative to the success of our ElevateMeD Scholars Program. We depend on their support in order to achieve the mission of a physician workforce that reflects the population served. We invite you to become involved with ElevateMeD by contributing in a variety of ways.
Mentors
ElevateMeD Scholars need physician mentors to help them succeed and flourish through medical school and beyond. The ElevateMeD Scholars Program will create a strong bond among Scholars that will continue into their respective careers. Many of our Scholars may not have had the opportunity to have a relationship with a physician aside from their medical school faculty. Having a physician mentor to help shape perspective during these years is paramount to their experience.
Schools
Since 2019 ElevateMeD has partnered with 27 medical schools across the U.S. Partnering with leading medical schools committed to increasing a diverse and culturally competent physician workforce.
Sponsors
ElevateMeD collaborates with leading private corporations and non-profit organizations who share the priority of increased physician workforce diversity. ElevateMeD works with these entities individually in order to customize the needs of the Scholars and the organization.
Supporters
Your contribution is essential to ElevateMeD’s success in prioritizing physician workforce diversity, closing the gap of financial inequity in the cost of medical education, and developing the next generation of physician leaders. Your direct investment will help offset the cost of tuition and fees for promising medical school students, multiplying your gift’s reach to all who will be impacted by an ElevateMeD Scholar’s care and expertise.
Other Ways to Get Involved
Attend an Event
ElevateMeD hosts fundraising events in support of the ElevateMeD Scholars program. Annually in the fall, we celebrate Explosion of a Dream Weekend in Arizona. ElevateMeD Scholars, board members and supporters join us in Arizona from across the U.S. to celebrate the future of medicine and raise funds for the Scholars program. Ignite is our multi-city fundraising initiative designed to amplify our mission in supporting cities across the US. Through Ignite events like Ignite Atlanta, we blaze our path forward by connecting with new donors, sponsors, and our partner schools.
