The MEA Think Tanks focus on bridging healthcare gaps through education and exposure, equipping students with resources, skills, and networks that emphasize health equity. Recognizing that access to health information and career opportunities can be limited by socioeconomic and regional barriers, we established the MEA Think Tanks to address these disparities directly. By connecting students with representatives from respected organizations, the expos serve as a vibrant platform for education, interaction, and inspiration. 

​

The primary aim of each expo is to address specific health disparities affecting underserved communities and to inspire attendees to think critically about their roles in healthcare. Through interactive panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, students are introduced to topics that range from global healthcare challenges to hands-on career advice. Business representatives delve into urgent topics like mental health, chronic disease prevention, and access to emergency care, while also highlighting paths to volunteer and shadowing opportunities. These opportunities allow students not only to gain direct experience but also to contribute meaningfully to healthcare efforts in their communities.
