We're helping the next generation of physicians.
Thalamus.org provides funding to medical students fromsocioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, including medical students of color, to apply to and interview for residency. We are committed to improving the process, so that it is fair and accessible to all students.
The medical students whom we teach today will become the doctors of tomorrow, carrying our values, skills and our hopes for the profession into the future.
