SHPEP convened its last cohort in the Summer of 2026 after 38 years of supporting students pursuing health professions careers. After many years of support for SHPEP, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the program's founding partner and core funder, decided to sunset the initiative following careful deliberation and research. The Foundation is now directing its efforts toward strategies aimed at dismantling structural racism in the health sector at the institutional level. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the American Dental Education Association (ADEA), and RWJF proudly recognize the program’s lasting impact and thousands of students, alumni, organizational partners, and institutional leaders who contributed to its legacy. This website has been preserved as an archival resource to celebrate SHPEP’s history, outcomes, impact, and contributions to the health professions.

Dare to blaze the path forward.

Once a year, we come together as a diverse force of future physicians banded together with a common goal: to make positive change in healthcare. To dare to envision a better realm of medicine — to overcome barriers that stand in the way of health equity and accelerate lasting change. Justice. Inclusion.

We do this at Future Physicians for Change. For three days, we learn, train and empower ourselves with new skills, knowledge and connections that will make change happen. For us. For the patients we will treat. For the world around us.

This year, we will convene in Washington DC on May 30 – June 1, 2024. We learn from medical experts, innovators and trailblazers through keynotes, hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and ample opportunities to network and connect — and have a great deal of fun along the way. Do you dare?

The Path.

A note from AMSA President, Rohini Kousalya-Siva

Step into the realm of possibility, where daring is not just a notion, but a call to action.

In a world where autonomy is challenged, where a divisive agenda looms, and where medical misinformation is rampant, AMSA stands as a defiant beacon. Dare to blaze the path forward with us as we become the architects of a brighter tomorrow, and we invite you to join us on this inspired journey.

At Future Physicians for Change, we don’t just talk about change; we are change. As you enter our world, you’ll find yourself on the forefront of a revolution in healthcare. It’s a place where the status quo is challenged, where barriers are shattered, and where dreams of a fairer, more inclusive medical field take flight.

This isn’t just a conference; it’s an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Here, you’ll learn to navigate the complexities of a world in flux. It’s a space where daring visionaries gather to craft a future where healthcare knows no bounds.

Join us, and dare to be the spark that blazes the path forward toward a brighter, more equitable world. Dare to dream, dare to act, and dare to be an instrumental part of the change. The journey begins at Future Physicians for Change.
