Plenary: Benefits and Limitations of Boutique Approaches to Pathway Programs
Description

Pathway programs across the country have developed innovative, community-responsive models that reflect deep commitment and vision in addressing local needs to build a future science and healthcare workforce. These tailored approaches offer valuable insights and impact, yet there are opportunities to enhance their reach and sustainability through shared practices, professional development, and institutional support. This session will explore strategies for building stronger networks, recognizing outreach as a scholarly discipline, and fostering scalable models. A case study from a single institution will illustrate how a systemwide, community-engaged framework can amplify local successes and support long-term growth and sustainability.
