I recommend joining advocacy organizations that are fighting for healthcare equity. An established organization will give you the resources, training, platform, and community you will need to be an activist. The Health Equity Initiative would be a great group to join. Hope this helps!
@youfoundwill, There is this one club I'm in called HOSA, (Health Occupational Student Association) I highly recommend it, they have hundreds of competitions at the international level if you are interested. Or another option is to start your own club that aims for healthcare equality.
