About Us plaque

About Us

MedSearch is a student-led nonprofit that guides youth in their search for medical and educational opportunities — and delivers essential care to people in need through projects like Care Kits and hand-written cards. We do this through free programs, mentorship, and easy-to-use resources.

Opportunities & Mentorship

We help you find roles in research, shadowing, and volunteering. We also share tips on how to apply — like writing CVs, cold emails, and doing outreach — and pair students with near-peer mentors so you feel supported and confident when applying.

Community Care

Through our Care Kits Project, we put together bags with snacks, hygiene items, and uplifting notes. These are delivered to hospitals, shelters, and refugee centers. By helping with outreach and deliveries, you also earn volunteer hours.

Education & Resources

We share information, checklists, and templates — practical tools that guide you through finding opportunities, writing professional emails, and keeping your applications organized.

Chapters & Leadership

Our chapters run local projects like donations, workshops, and drives. By joining, you’ll not only make a difference in your community but also gain leadership experience.
