Project LEAP
Did you know that some of the nation's major healthcare organizations do not recognize the LGBTQIA+ community as underrepresented in medicine? Have you ever encountered a visible LGBTQIA+ healthcare provider or ally? Visibility and knowledge about the LGBTQIA+ community is key to health and wellness. Project LEAP responds to this need by:
- Providing free pre-health career coaching and application guidance to members of the community and those committed to the improvement of healthcare for the community
- Certificate programs, in-services and workshops that provide the depth needed to truly understand the unique needs of the community
- Advocacy to increase visibility in healthcare
Dedicated to Dana Ouellette
Dana was an educator and member of the LGBTQIA community. Loved by her students, this organization continues her legacy by giving guidance and hope to others. We dedicate our services to her memory and to the memory of all those we've lost.
