Southwest Healthcare Palmdale Regional Medical Center recently kicked off the second year of the Mini Med Program! To celebrate, they hosted a White Coat Ceremony at Quartz Hill Elementary School in the Westside Union School District, in collaboration with the CPASS Foundation, to recognize students' commitment to the program.
Developed and owned by the CPASS Foundation, the Mini Med Program provides a structured curriculum designed to introduce students to the foundations of becoming a physician. Southwest Healthcare Palmdale Regional Medical Center will implement the curriculum locally, partnering with its physician residency program to provide mentorship, real-world insights and age-appropriate medical education throughout the school year.
Please join us in welcoming our 48 Mini Med students! We look forward to supporting, educating and inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals throughout their journey in the program.
