About ICAM

The Institute for Career Advancement in Medicine (ICAM) is HWNY's institute for preparing, supporting, and advancing New York's next generation of healthcare professionals. ICAM brings people, programs, and community-based resources together through six components: Community Outreach and Engagement, Digital Technology, ICAM Essentials Curriculum, Career Support and Mentoring, Barrier Intervention, and Evaluation.

Learners progress through three membership levels: Member, Scholar, and Senior Scholar. ICAM is currently active in the North Country, Central New York, New York City, and Western New York, delivered in partnership with Area Health Education Centers (AHECs), and our vision is to deploy statewide.
