The NVC/KPNC MESA Medical Scholars Program (MSP) is a comprehensive partnership between the Napa Valley College MESA program and Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC).
Timeline:
Spring 2015 – Prompted by Dr. Gonzalez’ interest in working with a local community college in developing a program aimed at closing the gap for under-represented students pursuing a career in medicine. Fall 2015 – Seven Napa Valley College MESA/STEM Students participated in the first pilot externship with Kaiser. This led to the development of what is now the Leadership Forum portion of the Medical Scholar Program. Fall 2015 thru Spring 2019 – The pilot Medical Scholar Program served a total of 4 cohorts (39 students). Spring 2019 – NVC MESA and Kaiser Permanente Northern California drafted an MOU, which was finalized and then approved by the NVC Board of Trustees. Fall 2019 – The one year externship developed into a three-year Medical Scholars Program. The 10 NVC MESA students in the second year of the program will partake in the Leadership Forum and receive a combined $10,000 stipend from Kaiser.

BS Cognitive Science, University of California, Davis NVC MESA, DOCC and KPMSP Alumnus Testimonial: I am a First generation college student and the youngest of three siblings raised by Mexican immigrants. I began pursuing my career of medicine after my daughter was born. I was 20-years-old and knew I had one of two options: use my brain or my body. I now find myself less than one year from submitting my medical school application and achieving my dream. Through MESA and KPMSP I was able to network and find mentors to coach me through application, obtain valuable Letters of Recommendations and research experiences– learned how to collectively work together to accomplish a meaningful project. I consider myself a much more competitive and well rounded student. MESA and KP were the first resources that placed me on my path toward achieving my academic goal. Prior to MESA and KPMSP I didn't have guidance, direction or a clear vision of who I could become or what I could achieve. Since then, I have had high academic success and want to pass on the knowledge and resources that were given to me through MSP and the MESA Program. I’m currently studying for the MCAT to apply for medical school.

Testimonial: MESA and Kaiser Permanente Medical Scholars Program (KPMSP) has helped me in many ways, such as becoming a better leader, working with the community, improving communication skills with my peers, and allowing to network, network and do more networking! Last semester, our MSP Leadership Focus Group worked with the homeless community to find more effective ways to improve the well being of the homeless community. My experience so far has been eye-opening, seeing health care in practice and interacting with M.D.s has made me want to continue my medical journey. I’m the current DOCC Dreamers Of Community Change (DOCC) Premed Club President. DOCC helps build leadership skills, networking
help pre-med and pre-health students continue their career goal through a community of support. I’m in my second year at NVC, transfer plans for fall 2021 and pursuing a double major in Biology and Spanish. Upon graduation, I will apply to medical school.
