The Health Careers Program of Spelman College initiated in 1971 to advance more and better- qualified young women into the professional/allied health professional schools of medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, optometry, podiatry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine and graduate health programs. Since 1970, the College has been successful in assisting well over 800 of its students in gaining admission to many prestigious professional/ allied health professional institutions. The program serves as a repository of information. We coordinate visits to healthcare facilities and professional schools, schedule on campus visits for lectures and recruitment personnel, and assists students in identifying facilities where they may participate in academic enrichment/research activities during the academic years and summers.

Health careers Program Provides:

n Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Training

n First Aid/CPR Certification

n Professional and Speech Workshops

n Spelman Women in Science and Health Shadowing Program (WISH)

n Development of Professional Schools Articulation Agreements

Spelman College has benefited from continuous HHMI funding since 1992, and the current award provides an additional four years of support (2012- 2016) for a variety of innovative science initiatives at Spelman, including programs that encourage undergraduate students in science exploration and prepare them for successful scientific careers. These programs have contributed to Spelman’s status as one of the nation’s top producers of minority student Ph.Ds. We are very excited to be able to con-tinue our tradition of training women of color for successful biomedical careers. The current award supports student researcher development, advisement, support and training, as well as promotes student curiosity and science literacy through two undergraduate research training programs that will provide research opportunities for our students both on and off campus, and innovative research and grant competitions.

research Programs and grants

n Research Associates Program (RAP)

n Spelman Mentored and Research Trained Scholar Program (SMART Scholars)

n Spelman Pioneer Award in Research Competition (SPARC)

n Student-Developed Competitive Research Grants

n Another goal of the HHMI Program focuses on curricular development, specifically: Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development

STEM at Spelman RISE The Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program is a structured biomedical research-training program for the underrepre-sented minorities and women who desire to pursue a career in biomedical research. The RISE Programs, funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIH/NIGMS), were initiated in 1972. The RISE program at Spelman College was established in 2000 and is structured into two segments: The Research Development Program (Academic Year and Summer) and the START Program (Summer Training About Research Techniques).Students choose to come to Spelman College because they want to change the world. Spelman-RISE program is determined to equip our young ladies with the skills needed to do just so…. change the world by immersing them in an interdisciplinary research community that will make them more competitive for admission into top tier Ph.D. programs. They can bring unique perspectives to the treatment, pre-vention, and eradication of disease as women of African descent.
