Application deadline to UC Denver Undergraduate Pre-Health Program Extended

The Undergraduate Pre-Health Program (UPP) started in the spring of 2006; the Office of Inclusion and Outreach(OIO) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus hosts the year long program. OIO is committed to helping increase the number of historically underrepresented individuals within the health care professions for the purpose of reducing health disparities among underserved communities in Colorado.

By participating in the program students learn about health disparities, health policy and social justice issues that impact equity in healthcare. Courses are taught by distinguished University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus  faculty, staff and students. Topics consist of personal and professional development, lectures, demonstrations, and interactive presentations. The program is designed to allow students to explore the many facets of health care. 

  • Participants will engage in a yearlong program that exposes students to professional and career exploration. Topics include:
    • Health care equity/disparities within various communities 
    • Career development workshops
    • Educational development workshops
  • Sessions are led by distinguished University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus faculty, staff, and students, as well as community healthcare providers and partners. Sessions will consist of lectures, workshops and demonstrations. 
  • The program begins with a late summer orientation. Saturday Academy workshops will be held monthly (August 2020—May 2021). In addition, they will receive a stipend, internship and shadowing experience (May 2021—July 2021) that is contingent upon successful completion of Saturday Academies.
