The University of Miami’s Health Professions Mentoring (HPM) Program is designed to prepare and strongly position students for admission to medical school through an enriched curriculum and academic and professional mentoring throughout their four years of college. Admission to this program is by invitation only.
The HPM Program will prepare students to be competitive applicants to any medical school of their choice upon completion of their bachelor’s degree. The Program provides an enriching curriculum, where students participate in exclusive, hands-on and engaging courses. Some of the benefits include:
- Multigenerational mentoring by faculty, medical school students, and advanced undergraduates
- Professional development activities
- Monthly meetings with special guest speakers in the medical profession
- Early access to course registration
- Enriched academic curriculum:
- Enrollment in an HHMI Integrative Biology/Chemistry Research Lab course through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Community Outreach during the first year of the program
- Clinical Medicine course, taught by medical school faculty: HPM Program students are introduced to the art of diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and understanding of disease etiology via shadowing physicians in various departments, through case studies, and in simulation labs
- MCAT course: If eligible, students will enroll in the prep course in the third year of the program
