Our Mission
Founded in 2009, the Cardea Fellows Program is a four-year undergraduate fellowship that fosters equity in medicine and healthcare by supporting students who have historically faced barriers to access, inclusion, or opportunity in health related careers. Our mission is to help students build a strong academic foundation in the natural sciences while fostering a sense of belonging, well-being, and success through a collaborative and inclusive community. We achieve this through targeted programming, SAGE Learning Communities, comprehensive prehealth advising, and a vibrant living-learning experience.
