Congratulations to Dr. Gregory Cejas and Dr. Victoria de Leon!

Drs. Cejas and de Leon were selected to be part of the inaugural PROUD-MED cohort at WUSM. PROUD-MED (the Program for Underrepresented in Medicine for Equity and Diversity) is a new initiative supported by the ICTS and Washington University School of Medicine to enhance underrepresented in medicine (URiM) faculty development by providing mentored clinical research training, dedicated Research Development Program (RDP) resources, senior faculty support, and group mentorship as a community to integrate with institutional programs.  PROUD-MED emphasizes essential tools to help Scholars build community and navigate academic structures as an URiM faculty member.
