Pathways Longitudinal Projects (PLPs)

The PLPs are a requirement for Worcester-based Pathways. These are longitudinal group initiatives, mentored by a UMass-affiliated PLP faculty mentor, which span across your medical school journey. We require at least 4 learners per PLP. Some PLPs align with multiple Pathways and you will see them listed multiple times.

Please wait until your first Pathways session to learn more about the process of PLP assignments before you reach out to the contacts listed here.

For more information on Pathways, visit: https://www.umassmed.edu/oume/curriculum/Vista-Curriculum/parallel-curricular-programs/Worcester-track/pathways-options/ and refer to the Pathways Handbook.
