2025 HEALERS COMMUNITY CIRCLE
The 2025 Healers Community Cohort, consists of 15 outstanding Native students who are dedicated to pursuing careers in healthcare and serving Indigenous communities. Selected from a competitive pool of 41 applicants, these future healthcare leaders will receive mentorship, professional development opportunities, and financial support to assist with examination fees, enrichment programs, and return home ceremonies.
Through this yearlong program, the cohort will engage in community-building and advocacy, amplifying Native voices in medicine.
This year is our largest cohort ever, made possible with funding from the Center for Racial and Health Equity at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
