A Student–Driven
Medical Education Revolution

ScholarRx founded MeSAGE in 2019 with the aim of empowering different student organizations with the tools and training that allow them to work together to close educational gaps. Traditional med school curriculum doesn’t cover important areas such as health equity, diversity and inclusion, or social justice.

Using the revolutionary digital learning library, Rx Bricks, we are building interactive digital modules known as “Bricks” that will address a wide range of topics, from health equity and human rights to medical education and digital health. Together, we aim to leverage the expertise and passion of students to develop engaging and instructionally sound medical education content that fosters:

Clinical Excellence
Cultural Competence
Health Equity

“Through MeSAGE, we are excited to partner with leading student organizations to address educational needs at a global and societal level and help medical students define, build, and learn the key content that may be missing from the standard curriculum.”

— Dr. Tao Le, Founder and CEO, ScholarRx

Better Together

Getting medical students involved in the design and development of their education has many evidence-based benefits.

Student involvement is good for:

The Curriculum: Medical students are able to bring their unique perspective to the table.
The Student: Medical students develop the skills needed to become impactful educators.
The Educator: Both the quality and quantity of student engagement is boosted.
The World: Future physicians are better prepared for the challenges they will face in their practices.
