Background

Medical Explorers (MedEx) was created by Morgan Dresvyannikov, MD when she was a 4th year medical student at the University of Missouri Kansas City 6-Year BA/MD Program. 

She reflected on her own journey in medicine and realized there was a need for more medical education and exposure within middle and high school curriculum.

The program was made with the goal to provide earlier exposure to healthcare and to increase the primary care workforce. 

MedEx has continued to expand each year and hopes to reach schools in local and rural areas.
