Find Pre-Health Enrichment Programs

Many schools offer pre-health enrichment programs, such as:

• pre-health paid/unpaid internships - summer or full-year 
• summer undergraduate research programs
• summer programs for minority students
• academic enrichment programs
• undergraduate pre-health research programs
• clinical and non-clinical work-study opportunities
• health professions pipeline programs
• entrance exam/test preparation courses
• basic science research
• global health programs
• health disparities programs
• post-baccalaureate programs
• rural health initiatives

Participating in a pre-health enrichment program is an excellent way to learn what it's like to work in that field.  It gives you invaluable experience and personal contacts - plus it can increase your chances of being accepted into the health professions program of your dreams.

For additional enrichment programs in the field of health policy, see the National Institute of Health's list of Student Programs and the Kaiser Family Foundation's online directory of health policy fellowship opportunities.   Also see the section on Health Policy Topics in Issues in Healthcare on this website.
