Medical Careers and Technology Pipeline Program
The MedCaT Pipeline is an academic-community partnership between:
Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity (MACHE)

Providing mentorship and scholarship opportunities for AI and Appalachian high school students during undergraduate health and biomedical science education or entrance into the workforce.
