The Stanford University School of Medicine, in collaboration with University of California Berkeley’s School of Public Health, San Francisco State University and Health Career Connection was recently awarded a three-year Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The primary goal of the San Francisco Bay Area Comprehensive HCOP Program is to increase diversity in the health professions by providing specific programs and activities to disadvantaged students in four contiguous counties surrounding the San Francisco Bay. The four anchor institutions offer separate programs and joint activities to promote successful entrance into careers in the health professions.

In addition to pipeline events and activities offered throughout the year, the Center of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education (COEDME) will offer the Stanford Summer HCOP – a six-week residential program for undergraduate students interested in becoming physicians. Similar to the primary goal of the San Francisco Bay Area Comprehensive HCOP Program, the Stanford Summer HCOP aims to increase diversity in the health professions by providing specific programs and activities to students in the region who have faced economic, financial, or other barriers that have prevented them from achieving academic success in preparing for careers in medicine. Focusing on the Bay Area, the Stanford Summer HCOP will emphasize year-round connectedness to academic development opportunities for student participants to increase successful preparation for application and admittance to medical school.

HCC achieves these goals through its comprehensive paid summer internship program. HCC internships are 10 week, full-time paid placements in leading hospitals, health centers, health departments, primary care and other health organizations.
