UT Health Science Center Health Career Programs

Mission

The aim of the Office of Health Careers Programs is to prepare the next generation of health professionals to serve their communities with empathy and humility. We are committed to exploring the beauty of a diversity of ideas, experiences, beliefs, and cultures, as well as the strengths we each bring to the table, in order to effect systemic changes in community health outcomes across Tennessee and around the world. While we welcome applications from students of all backgrounds, we are dedicated to increasing access and support for under-represented students. The Office of Health Career Programs administers the Pre-Health Scholars Program and Summer Science Institute and partners with Memphis Shelby County Schools and Junior Achievement.
