UC Davis Health has launched the Radiology and Imaging Sciences Scholars (RaISS) program, aimed at providing community college and early undergraduate students with insights into careers in medical imaging. The program offers mentorship, hands-on exposure, and experiences in clinical environments for students, with a focus on increasing diversity in the medical field. Recently, the second cohort of students graduated from the program, receiving certificates during a ceremony. The initiative addresses the lack of awareness about radiology career paths, especially among marginalized communities, and encourages students to explore various roles within the field, from radiologists to medical researchers. The program emphasizes mentorship, community service, and the development of networking skills, aiming to inspire students to pursue careers in health care or biomedical sciences.
