On September 12, 2020, T4D partnered with AACOM for a day full of valuable workshops focused on why future physicians should #ChooseDO. Workshops with physicians and current medical students will cover topics ranging from critical test taking skills, the importance of mentorship, interview skills, and more!

With the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics, T4D is proud to debut its Pediatrics Mentoring Circles, a program focused on strengthening the pipeline to careers in pediatric medicine. T4D Pediatrician Mentors will provide advising and tiered mentorship in order to empower students along a pathway of exploration and focus on children, families, and their well-being. Monthly virtual workshops will provide introductory knowledge and skills and unique mentoring sessions will expose students to real experiences.
