iDream Health Careers Bootcamp program 

The iDream program is a several-week virtual enrichment program for students to learn about different healthcare specialties and topics from black healthcare professionals. Response from a former ECHHS student, "I got to participate in the program last year and it was honestly the best healthcare-oriented program I got to experience because of all that we got to learn and also because of how students in the program got to interact with and communicate with various inspirational black healthcare professionals. Last year, I got a scholarship to attend the program for free and I think the program partners with educational institutions to offer more scholarships for students to attend the program." 

 BlackMed Connect (B-MED) Podcast. 

The podcast was started by Dr. Jasmine Weiss, a black physician at UNC. Through the B-MED podcast, students interested in health careers get to learn more about the process of getting involved in healthcare from black healthcare professionals who have done really inspirational things for others.
