New York City- based NYC Health + Hospitals has launched a new endeavor to encourage underrepresented groups to join the system's workforce.
The Medical Opportunities for Students and Aspiring Inclusive Clinicians is funded by $500,000 in philanthropic funds, NYC Health + Hospitals said on their website Feb. 8.
The MOSAIC program puts medical students from underrepresented backgrounds in clinical rotations at NYC Health + Hospitals facilities.
The initiative will fund 10 awardees in its first year and plans to have 30 scholars in the coming years through its Visiting Scholars Program.
