I really appreciate DOF for all the clinical opportunities we get! I truly believe these opportunities are very hard to come by without the guidance and support of an organization like DOF. It has even motivated me to get more involved in taking the extra mile to increase my networking and reach at my university to get more opportunities like the one DOF provides!
Angela Ogbogu
DOF gave me the opportunity to do research and volunteer at health screening events that I probably would not have come across if i wasn’t a part of the foundation. The mentorship is great and I feel it has really prepared me to be a successful medical student and doctor in the future. Through DOF I have been given help with finding work in clinical jobs and have also become better prepared for the MCAT through their tutoring program.

DOF has been a really good experience for me in particular to get more involved in helping and engaging underserved communities. It has also allowed me to tie in what I am learning in classes with real world medical application. The sense of community within DOF is beautiful and connecting with other students I can relate to makes the journey to becoming a doctor less stressful. Also, the quarterly enrichment workshops and physician interviews are the best!

DOF Class Of 4th Quarter, 2022
DOF has shown me that there are physicians and med students that look like me and that are willing to give back and help promote the inclusion of the disadvantaged students in healthcare spaces. I am grateful to be a part of the foundation as there are many opportunities available and something is always going on for me to get involved in.
