Youth Health Equity Model of Practice Summer Program

By -
Wanted to make you aware of a summer program (with stipend) sponsored by the HHS/Office of Minority Health for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students from underrepresented groups.
Please forward to any interested students.


We are pleased to announce that we now have a website for our Youth Health Equity Model of Practice (YHEMOP) program! 


https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/YHEMOP/index.html


As many of you are aware, the purpose of the YHEMOP is to support the future design, implementation, and evaluation of federal and public health workforce policies, specifically as it relates to capacity building for diverse organizations that promote health equity and/or address health disparities. Through this initiative, Health Equity Fellows (students enrolled in higher education studies) will be matched with diverse organizations to complete short-term Health Equity Projects that help improve health outcomes and close the gap on racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care. Moving forward, the website will have up-to-date information about placement opportunities and student applications, which are available to download online.

The student application for summer 2017 fellows is currently open and the deadline for student applications is February 15th, 2017.   Applications to serve as a placement site for summer 2018 will be open in November 2017. We encourage you to share this information and link with your network and interested contacts.

Thank you,

Andrew K. Sanderson, II, MD, MPH, FASGE
