  • When Manny Fierro was in high school, he lacked mentors to help him explore career possibilities, which he notes is common among many students like himself – children of immigrants who don’t know “how to navigate the system.” Now, as a MS1, Manny has started a mentoring program for students at Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova and invited 20 School of Medicine classmates to join him. The feedback was tremendous from the high school’s college counselor, parents and students. “The high school students felt represented by those on the stage and the other med students in the audience,” Manny says. Manny’s own mentor, Dr. Jorge Garcia, said “Manny’s vision for establishing long-term mentoring relationships between students will almost certainly yield great benefits for our health professions workforce and, ultimately, for our region.
