Journeys in Medicine 
The KAMA Journeys in Medicine series aims to inspire and encourage more Kurds to enter the medical field through the stories of current Kurdish American medical professionals. Through live interviews with medical professionals in the community, the Journeys in Medicine series will facilitate a direct connection between physicians and prospective medical students. These live interviews will give students insight about what it takes to become a physician and will provide a platform for students to get their questions about the medical field answered. The goal of this initiative is to provide resources and guidance to Kurdish students to help them on their own journeys in medicine.
