2024 - 25 Annual Report
Leadership Fellowship
Launched in 2021 , the Leadership Fellowship Program aims to provide medical students with meaningful leadership and professional development opportunities through two structured tracks : Mentorship and Research & Advocacy . This paid fellowship is open to medical students who have completed their first year , and it empowers participants to serve as peer leaders , mentor future applicants , and develop projects in efforts that foster belonging across the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine . For the 2024 - 2025 academic year , the program selected 20 medical students to serve as fellows . Each fellow committed an average of five hours per week to completing projects aligned with their personal interests and the OACC ’ s mission . Fellows in the Mentorship Track supported pre - medical students through one - on - one guidance , academic planning , and mentorship . In addition to their direct mentoring roles , Mentor Fellows took the lead in planning and facilitating the Workshops for Success series . Many Mentor Fellows also presented their work at national conferences . Notably , over the past two years , eight pre - medical students mentored by the Mentor Fellows through this program have been offered admissions into the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine . The Research and Advocacy track contributed to innovative curricular and institutional efforts by collaborating with various SFESOM offices on projects aimed at creating meaningful change . These efforts included exploring medical students ’ experiences with the new MD program , addressing mentorship and mental health , and developing a student - led online module focused on cultural humility and serving rural and underserved communities . Notably , 90 % of students presented their work at national conferences such as the AAMC , as well as at local conferences .
