The Office for Health Equity and Inclusion (OHEI) partners with approximately 30 Michigan Medicine departments annually to host the Youth Summit at the 'Big House' in May.

The Youth Summit provides opportunities for participants to engage with practitioners through hands-on simulations, personal connections, and curated resources in preparation for medical career paths.
