    Hello!

    I am writing on behalf of the organization, United Against Inequities in Disease, 
    a 501(c)3 national nonprofit that empowers students to eliminate health inequities locally. 

    Members of UAID benefit from a number of opportunities including:

    • Training in health equity with an opportunity to earn a certificate
    • Training in designing, executing, and evaluating community health projects
    • Real-world experience working to reduce local health inequities
    • Leadership opportunities and development of professional skills required by most health professions programs (e.g., AAMC core competencies)
    • Experience writing research papers, creating research posters, and presenting research projects
    • Monthly mentorship opportunities with experts in public health
    • Fulfillment of academic credit, practicum, or capstone requirements
