Selected Feedback from Minority Senior Scholarship Program Participants, Children’s National Hospital, 2015-2016

“It has had a significantly positive impact on my outlook [on] my future career and [has] given me the confidence and support to pursue my goals and aspirations. To see people who look like me pursuing a successful career in academic pediatrics is inspiring. Also, meeting people who may not look like me but are sincerely invested in improving outcomes for underserved

populations and increasing the numbers of people who do look like me in academic pediatrics is very encouraging. I am so glad I decided to be a part of this program.”

“I always knew I wanted to become involved with health advocacy but this program certainly strengthened my resolve to do so. It was wonderful to be around so many like-minded

individuals. I know now what my talents are and I built so much confidence during my time at CNMC. I really had an amazing experience. Thank you so much for providing me the

opportunity to participate in this program. I know I will be a more confident doctor because of it.”

“As I interview for residency programs, I reflect on my experience rotating at Children's

National. Although the residency program is on the larger side, because of my experience with MSSP and the relationships I developed with awesome mentors, I feel more confident in my ability to excel as a resident at Children's National. Being a participant in the program reassures me that if I become a resident in the program, I would have an amazing support system around me. I also am considering critical care as a potential specialty because of my experience rotating at Children's National as a MSSP participant.”

“As a minority student exploring the best fit for me to continue my training as a resident and potential fellow, I continue to reflect on my experience at Children’s National and value MSSP for nurturing an environment that embraces diversity end equality with the ultimate goal of providing top care to diverse population of children.”

“This program helped me to get a sense of what academic medicine is in practice and what it is like to train at a large children’s hospital. It helped me realize that I want to do residency at an academic center.”
