The M.A.P. Program has expanded to include college students interested in becoming Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) at ARCOM. This growth supports ACHE’s mission to build a more inclusive, compassionate healthcare workforce while helping reduce health disparities in the communities that need it most.
From hands-on healthcare simulations to culinary explorations, ceramics, and innovative STEAM activities, ACHE became a space where students felt empowered and reminded that they belong here, with a future full of possibilities.
Twelve ARCOM students volunteered each day, not only guiding the activities but also serving as role models and mentors. Programs like this aim to inspire these young students early.
“I am forever grateful. The first class defined the legacy of ACHE OT, and that legacy will continue.”
