The Urban Health Program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is a flagship initiative dedicated to increasing representation and equity in the health sciences and health professions. Their mission is to address persistent health disparities in minority populations and improve the quality and availability of healthcare in underserved urban areas. Through programming, resources, and support, they aim to empower pre-health and health professional students to make a positive impact in their communities.
The Urban Health Program Resource Center serves as a valuable support system for students, providing necessary resources and assistance. With a focus on promoting academic and scholarly success, the program offers scholarships, internships, volunteer opportunities, and shadowing experiences to help students explore and pursue careers in healthcare. The UHP staff is dedicated to the success of their students, both inside and outside the classroom, and strives to create a nurturing environment for aspiring healthcare professionals.
