This presentation is sponsored by ASPBP Platinum Level Sponsor, the Consortium Dedicated to Health Education Equity

The Consortium Dedicated to Health Equity Education (CDHE) and its flagship Preparing Aspiring Doctors for Medicine (PADMed) program demonstrate how collaboration across institutions can transform access to medicine for students historically excluded from STEMM fields. In this sponsor session, CDHE leaders will share evidence-based lessons from building a multi-institutional pathway program, highlight strategies for sustaining partnerships, and explore how equity-centered design can be adapted across disciplines. Attendees will gain insights into practical models, systemic challenges, and emerging opportunities to reimagine pathway work through collective action.
