DC HAPP: Health and Academic Prep Program

Open Opportunity

About

DC HAPP is a pipeline program coordinated by the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences Office of Diversity and Inclusion to increase access to healthcare careers and foster diversity in the medical field. Sixteen rising 12th-grade students attending Washington, DC, area public schools are selected to participate based on their passion and potential for medicine. Students participate in a four-week summer experience and ten weeks of clinical shadowing in the fall at GW University Hospital. 

DC HAPP scholars gain exposure to healthcare professions, learn hands-on medical skills, develop public health projects, and prepare for college applications and college life. Medical students, physicians, and other medical professionals serve as mentors, facilitators, and teachers.
