IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS the P I M S
Funded by a National Institutes of Health grant, PIMS was designed to address the need for physicians in the rural areas of Northwest Florida. (Part of the University of Florida College of Medicine) 1971-2001
1992-Dr. Myra Hurt established the first advising program services at PIMS 1993- Dr. Hurt hired Mrs. Thesla Anderson to establish an Outreach program 1996 - Dr. Hurt hired Dr. Livingston to supervise both advising and outreach-- -soon they are combined into one program 2001 -The Florida State University College of Medicine admitted its first class Outreach and Advising continued Bridge Program was established
The Florida State University College of Medicine will educate and develop exemplary physician who practice patient-centered health care, discover and advance knowledge, and are responsive to community needs, especially through service to elder, rural, minority, and underserved populations.
Research has shown minority physicians and physicians from rural backgrounds are more likely to practice in underserved population areas.
The following groups should be represented in the student population: o o o o o Underrepresented Minorities (African American, Puerto Rican, Mexican American, American Indian) Students from Rural or Inner City Backgrounds Nontraditional (older, returning) Students Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds First generation in college students
Medically underserved population areas are often educationally underserved Students may not have had the educational background and structured programs to reach their full potential Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may need encouragement and opportunity And then there are the numbers: In 2009 there were 42,269 applicants nationally 3,106 African Americans; 3,061 Hispanic or Latino; 1,684 Rural 3,584 Applicants to FSUCOM in 2010 (120 selected) 465 African Americans; 537 Hispanic; 143 Rural

Launched in 1991 Designed to increase annual enrollment of Blacks, Mexican American, mainland Puerto Ricans and American Indians in U.S. Medical Schools Initiative focused on educational pipeline programs
The need for a new and creative way to increase diversity in our medical school Intervention has to occur early in the educational pipeline Partnership agreements with universities, secondary schools, and medical schools have to exist Infrastructure of support Commitment all stakeholders Diverse and meaningful experiences for students
Provide a career pathway for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in medicine and other health fields Increase the number of underrepresented and rural high school students who enter post graduate science and medical programs. Ultimately serve as a pipeline or feeder program to bring students from medically underserved areas to FSUCOM thus producing physicians that have an interest in Florida rural and inner city communities.
