The Office of Admissions and The Office of Diversity & Inclusion at the Georgetown University School of Medicine would like to invite students to participate in a virtual information session.

During this webinar, students will have the opportunity to speak with an Admissions Officer, The Dean for Diversity & Inclusion, and a current medical student to learn about GUSOM’s admissions process, philosophy, student life, international opportunities, service learning, and diversity initiatives.

We will also give an overview of our summer pipeline program, the Academy for Research, Clinical, and Health Equity Scholarship (ARCHES). ARCHES is offered to rising juniors and rising seniors interested in pursuing medicine or pre-health professions and will engage students in immersive research, clinical rotations, and service learning.

Information Session Registration

The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) is a free summer enrichment program focused on improving access to information and resources for college students interested in the health professions. SHPEP’s goal is to strengthen the academic proficiency and career development of students underrepresented in the health professions and prepare them for a successful application and matriculation to health professions schools. These students include, but are not limited to, individuals who identify as African American/Black, American Indian and Alaska Native and Hispanic/Latino, and who are from communities of socioeconomic and educational disadvantage. SHPEP, formerly known as the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP), expanded in 2016 to include a broader array of health professions.

The SHPEP (Summer Health Professions Education Program) application process is underway for potential scholars!
