SHPEP Presentation
SHPEP Program Manager Sonja Tutsch, PhD, provides an overview of the SHPEP experience at UNMC.
Our six-week SHPEP provides scholars with an interest in Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy with academic enrichment in the basic sciences and math, clinical experiences, career development activities, learning and study skills seminars, and a financial planning workshop. Multiple career development sessions are intentionally distributed across all of the represented disciplines and will be used to direct scholars towards the exploration of various health professions, demystifying the admissions process, and the development of individualized education plans.
