[Nell Gross via geogu-l]

Good Afternoon,
We are excited to launch Cohort 2 of our HRSA HCOP 5-year grant to help support SHPEP scholars along their journey to professional school. The Summer Health Professions Education Program Longitudinal Enhancement (SHPEPLE) program will offer longitudinal curriculum focused on professional development and peer support to help students planning to apply to medical school within the next 24 months. It will require commitments to study groups, monthly lectures and study skills to help ensure you are well prepared to be a competitive applicant to medical school. It will also offer additional opportunities for supporting your application to medical school. At this time, we are only offering medical school applicant support but hope to expand to support dental students in the future. We are accepting 25 students into Cohort 2 or the 2025-2027 cohort. It will require a contract and commitment to full participation. The screening criteria (based on the grant) for the program include:

  *   Plan to apply to medical school in the next 24 months
  *   Identify as underrepresented in medicine
  *   First generation college student
Application Opens: Now
Application Closes: April 20, 2025
We will also be accepting applications on a rolling basis.
The application can be found at: https://forms.office.com/r/u7Uk6gppS5<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.office.com/r/u7Uk6gppS5__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jjfQuU6Q-SZNbsQgSjWcGnSnPvz0LtlvSDEucd-zhfbxqYEVGaKQOt7Q-ysO-pOAGhO84BApFm_NoDgJ2LbBFg$>
