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 SHPEP application opens on Friday, November 1, 2024, for the 2025 summer session! We are excited to announce that this year’s SHPEP application includes the Minority Serving Institution Pathway Initiative (MSIPI). MSIPI is an AAMC-funded initiative integrated into the SHPEP application process. This means that by completing a single application, you can apply to both SHPEP and MSIPI sites. You can select up to 3 locations in total (including both SHPEP and MSIPI sites). The application submission deadline is February 5, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. In addition, all application materials, including one letter of recommendation and official transcript(s), must be postmarked/time-stamped by February 5, 2025. Please note that application materials postmarked by the deadline will be processed by the National Program Office, even if those materials arrive after the deadline. As a reminder, it can take up to 10 business days to process application materials once they are received by the National Program Office.
