The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) is a free summer program for students to explore their interests in medicine, dentistry, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, public health, and more. With the goal of increasing the acceptance rates of applicants that apply to health professions schools who come from underrepresented and marginalized communities, the Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) National Program Office and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have decided to increase the participant stipend from $600 to $1000, beginning with the 2023 SHPEP cohort.
SHPEP is open to first-year and sophomore students who meet other eligibility criteria.
The 2023 SHPEP application will open on November 1, 2022. View application instructions here. The application will be due on February 5, 2023.
