Haley Academy

We created the Haley Academy to honor the legacy of Leon L. Haley, Jr., M.D. 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.
