Explore the health professions with our free summer program
The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) is a free summer program for students to explore their interests in medicine, dentistry, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, public health, and more. The program takes place at our partner institutions and offers students a chance to develop competencies for becoming successful applicants to health profession programs, plan academic journeys, get clinical exposure, and network.
As of February 20, the SHPEP/MSIPI National Program Office has completed processing all transcripts.
If your transcript status has not changed to “Received,” please contact the NPO as soon as possible for assistance.
