Applications for the Summer Healthcare Professionals Education Program (SHPEP), a Robert Wood Johnson funded opportunity for college students interested in healthcare professions, are open. SHPEP specifically targets students from economically or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds and those with demonstrated interest in issues affecting underserved populations. The goal is to help college freshmen, sophomores, and juniors apply and matriculate successfully to health professions schools. SHPEP is housed at 11 universities across the country with different start dates – but all over the summer. Housing, meals, stipend, and travel expenses are all paid.
Take a look at the program in more detail here. The application deadline is February 5.
