The
Michigan State University (MSU), College of Human
Medicine (CHM), and Health Careers Opportunity Program
(HCOP) established
the Health Professions Achievement Pathway (HPAP) Alliance
that forms a partnership between the MSU College of Human
Medicine and the MSU Colleges of Nursing and Veterinary
Medicine, Lansing Community College, the Lansing School
District, undergraduate programs at Michigan State University,
and other community partners to create a more competitive
health professions pool for mid-Michigan.
The pathway
begins with activities at the middle school level and
continue through health
|
professions
school. The activities involve parents and appropriate
community organizations and agencies.Students participating
in the Alliance activities are exposed to many academic
and enrichment activities.
This exposure
will develop their awareness, increase their motivation
through career exploration, strengthen their readiness
and preparedness to pursue a pre-health professions
curriculum. As a result they will be competitive candidates
for admission to the MSU College of Human Medicine
and other health professions schools involved in the
Alliance.
