The San Marcos Public Library will be hosting a series, starting this month, that hopes to demystify the pursuit of medical careers for local students as well as bridge the minority gap in the medical field.
The series, “Demystifying Medical Careers,” will be held by Miss Diversity of Medicine, a local nonprofit that partners with local medical providers, high schools and universities in the areas between Austin and San Antonio to provide high school and undergraduate students opportunities to get involved, get focused and pursue their medical profession dreams.
“What we do is team up high school and undergraduate students, who are interested in applying to medical school ultimately – medical school, veterinarian school, dental school – and really being the middleman, or middlewoman I suppose, of helping them get the information they need to apply for internships and different programs and making sure they understand what kind of track they need to be on as far as grades and tests they need to take,” Tia Macias, founder of Miss Diversity of Medicine, said.
