Connect with MC2

We would like to invite your participation in an event to inspire future underrepresented health care providers. The MC2 Program (Medical Career Collaborative) is a two-year opportunity for high school juniors and seniors with programming activities taking place at Children’s Colorado and Denver Health.  MC2 focuses on recruiting students from groups that are under-represented in the healthcare workforce. This group of high-achieving young people typically consists of students of color and students from low-income backgrounds. The students come from schools all around the Denver Metro area. In this networking session, we  will ask you to share about your career and educational journey with these interested and engaged students who are on their own paths toward pursuing careers in healthcare. Dinner provided.
