After an open letter was signed by more than 500 students after the George Floyd protests, Dr. Jade Sanders was hired in September 2021 in response to the demand of more mental health resources for students who are Underrepresented in Medicine (URM). As an extension of CAPS, Dr. Sanders works exclusively with medical center students providing initial triage assessments, consultations, brief psychotherapy, case management/ referral services, medical leaves of absence, and workshops/community outreach events. Additionally, she offers staff consultations and training. 

Dr. Sanders also serves as a staff member on the Racial Justice Committee for Change URM Wellbeing Subcommittee. 

Active students in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Graduate Education programs are eligible for services at CAPS. Services provided by Dr. Sanders are free of charge.
