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.

The LGBT Health Workforce Conference is the largest and most well known national LGBT health workforce conference in the United States held annually in New York City.  The conference provides an overview of up-to-date practices (climate, educational, research, and clinical) in preparing the health care workforce to address the health concerns and disparities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities.  This conference is designed for health professionals (M.D., D.O., P.A.-C., R.N., N.P., Pharm.D., D.D., Ph.D., Ed.D., public health practitioners, social workers, psychologists, etc.), researchers, educators, administrators, and students (pre-health professions, professional schools, and graduate), but all interested are invited to attend. CME credit will be available.

Our mission is to help prepare the health care workforce to address the health concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities, and to provide professional development resources to support these goals.
