Haley Academy

We created the Dr. Leon L. Haley, Jr., Bridge to the Future of Emergency Medicine Academy to honor the legacy of Leon L. Haley, Jr., MD. This program is specifically to provide rising second-year medical students with the opportunity to participate in an in-person, all-expenses-paid, two-week mentorship program at the ABEM headquarters in East Lansing, Michigan, in June of each year.

Selected students join didactic lectures on topics such as health care issues in a variety of communities, reducing health care disparities among all populations, and applying to residency programs. The students connect with thought leaders and are expected to complete a short portfolio project at the end of the experience. In addition, students travel to two nearby Emergency Medicine residency programs (Central Michigan University and Henry Ford Health System) for hands-on simulation and educational experiences.
