In 2022, the First-Generation Student Organization at Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCU-COM) was founded to foster community among medical students whose parents have not completed a four-year undergraduate degree. While many undergraduate institutions have clubs and resources for the first-generation (FG) community, it is rare to see medical students identify with or celebrate their FG status.
