Please see the information below and the flyer attached about the Summer Health Professions Education Program {SHPEP} at Howard University. The application cycle closes on 02/15/18, so feel free to share this information with your students, colleagues etc. 

The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) is a FREE summer enrichment program focused on improving access to information and resources for college students interested in the health professions. SHPEP’s goal is to strengthen the academic proficiency and career development of students underrepresented in the health professions and prepare them for a successful application and matriculation to health professions schools. These students include, but are not limited to, individuals who identify as African American/Black, American Indian and Alaska Native and Hispanic/Latino, and who are from communities of socioeconomic and educational disadvantage. SHPEP, formerly known as the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP), expanded in 2016 to include a broader array of health professions, including medical and dental programs, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, and public health.

Please feel free to reach out to Lori Fenner, Program Manager at Howard, with questions. She can be reached at lori.fenner@howard.edu or 202.806.0366.
