Our Founders

LAURA DARWISH: FOUNDER

“I started KC MedBridge to allow students to be introduced to medicine without a high-risk and time consuming program. The idea of KC MedBridge came to me when I was filling out an application and realized many students do not have the resources for basic shadowing experiences.”

SALMA WENG: CO-FOUNDER

“I was interested in beginning KC MedBridge to have the ability to help myself and others first handedly experience the field of medicine. I’d love to help students use our organization as a stepping stone in their academics and future careers. “
