Our Service Model
Eliminating Barriers to a Student’s Success
Portage Community has evolved to better meet the needs of our students, and tuition is just one challenge they’ll encounter on the path to becoming a medical professional. That’s why each person we serve has access to a team that’s ready to encourage them not to give up on their dreams. Many students lack a support system to offer inspiration or to answer their questions about classwork and the medical field. We provide tools for their success and eliminate barriers that would prevent it.
Locally, mentoring is the primary requirement for entering the Portage Community program. We also offer professional development, test preparation, academic support, and scholarships.
On an international level, financial need is a major factor for consideration in our program. In addition to their scholarships, each medical student in the Dominican Republic also receives mentorship and professional development.
