The
Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) application is now
open! Formerly SMDEP (Summer Medical and Dental Education Program), the
program expanded for the Summer of 2017 to include a broader range of health
professions beyond medicine and dentistry to include pharmacy, nursing,
optometry, public health, physical therapy and physician assistant.
This
FREE academic enrichment program for freshman and sophomore college students
interested in the health professions is hosted at 13 institutions across the
United States. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the program’s
goal is to increase diversity in the health professions. The program offers the
following experiences:
- Academic enrichment in the basic sciences;
- Career development activities;
- Learning and study skills seminars;
- Exposure to clinical settings; and
- Workshops on financial planning and health policy
The
curriculum will also expose participants to concepts and the practice of
Interprofessional education.
The
application closes on March 1st. However, we strongly encourage early
application. More information is available at www.shpep.org
Feel free to share this information with your students and colleagues.
