Introduction
UHP offers programs to introduce health sciences to students from middle school through high school in order to spark interest in the many pathways in the health sciences available to them once they graduate from high school. UHP has also created programs for undergraduate and graduate students at UIC as they navigate their way through their academic journeys in one of UIC’s seven health science colleges. Additionally, UHP offers programs within each of the seven health science colleges themselves, particular to the college.
