CCIHP aims to empower students to achieve a high level of academic, professional, and personal success. The CCIHP team works closely with pre-health students to ensure that, upon graduation, they are well-prepared for both the application and job search processes. CCIHP does this by assisting students in identifying research opportunities, internship training programs (e.g., Metcalf Fellowships and the Katen Scholars), and challenging civic engagement experiences.
CCIHP encourages students to explore all of their options in health and medicine. Throughout the year CCIHP hosts panels and workshops featuring health professionals, many of whom are alumni of the College. Students also have access to an ever-expanding onsite library with internship, career, and volunteer information. CCIHP also employs a selected group of students known as the CCIHP Fellows who serve as peer mentors to students. The CCIHP Fellows host events targeting mostly first-and-second year students as well as hold daily office hours in CCIHP and in the Regenstein library.
Here is a link to the CCIHP Fellows blog.
You can also find them on Facebook.
Our quarterly calendar and weekly email updates contain a wealth of information on professional programs, health and medicine related activities taking place on campus, as well as summer opportunities. You can sign onto our list host through the CCIHP website.
