Summer Health Professions Education Program

SHPEP, the Summer Health Professions Education Program, is a free six-week educational initiative aimed at preparing students for careers in medicine and dentistry. Tailored for college students early in their academic paths, the program includes extensive academic support in core sciences and electives relevant to health professions. Students partake in enhancing their study skills, engage in clinical observations through small-group settings, and attend seminars led by healthcare professionals. This program not only focuses on academic growth but also facilitates career exploration and planning through personalized education strategies. As part of the SHAEP experience, students participate in a financial planning workshop to support their future educational undertakings. By providing tuition, housing, and meals, SHPEP ensures that participants can fully commit to their medical and dental preparatory experiences.
