Diversifying healthcare professions in America and providing adequate medical resources to those in struggling countries.
After experiencing the extreme lack of diversity in medicine as a hospital intern, Rayan was inspired to become part of the solution. She became determined to bring change to her community through planning and launching her student initiative, the Healing Hands Collective. Through this organization, she has influenced low income, first generation students through exposing them to opportunities in healthcare like the CU Medical Campus Pre-Health fair and a Cadaver Lab experience, events that would have otherwise been inaccessible. Rayan hopes to continue this leadership and one day expand the organization’s impact beyond the Denver Metro Area in order to help more minority students.
