Saniya Moore and Sakeesha Similien are the freshman class of scholarship recipients in the Healthcare Scholars Pipeline Program, a partnership between Temple University and Independence Blue Cross.
Inside room 105 of the pharmacy building on Temple University's campus, there's the sound of a child crying. Only it's not a real child. It's a robotic-like mannequin on a hospital bed. And it's up to freshman nursing student Saniya Moore and her classmate Sakeesha Similien to figure out what's wrong with the "child."
"I'm the oldest of like 10 grandchildren, so I've been watching kids my whole life, around kids my whole life, so I knew I wanted to work with them," said the 19-year-old. Independence Blue Cross provided a $750,000 grant to start the program, which was first announced in 2021. It provides full scholarships, mentoring and supportive resources to students they hope will change the face of nursing, in which, locally, Black people are under-represented.
"The important thing is not just for them but for the healthcare system as a whole. Number one, it's going to increase trust," said Brown. "I'll be able to advocate for other Black people in health care so that when you're in a time of pain, you don't have to add on to that by having to fight for yourself," said Similien.
