Pre-Health Scholars Program

The Pre-Health Scholars Program (PSP) is a university-wide collaboration. Through clinical, classroom, and service-learning activities, participants can gain hands-on experience, while developing their social and professional networks. We are excited to be offering this program in person starting summer 2022.

Students chosen for this competitive program can complete the 6-week course up to twice. Students selected for this program receive a stipend and housing, along with access to UTHSC academic support services. PSP students work hard and play hard. Participants can expect academically rigorous clinical and classroom experiences, as well as a chance to experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of Memphis, TN.
