The Health Sciences Scholars Program (HSSP) is a living/learning community that provides first-year undergraduates with opportunities to explore the issues, opportunities, and diversity of professions in the field of health sciences. Students receive support as they transition to life at the University of Michigan, as well as the direction needed for pre-health studies. Students join a tight-knit community where they meet peers with similar goals, get honest guidance from peer mentors and alumni, and gain a clearer picture of what a future in healthcare can look like. HSSP students receive dedicated pre-health advising, peer mentorship, facilitated study groups, and clinical shadowing opportunities to help them thrive both socially and academically at U-M.
