Who We Are

MISSION

The Office of Special Academic Programs (OSAP) mission is to facilitate the entry and increase the number of educationally and/or economically disadvantaged students in the health professions.

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive approach toward enriching the environment of the medical school by achieving diversity of the student body. "Pipeline Programs" directed by the Office of Special Academic Programs include the Summer Science Scholars Academy(S3A) for high school students, the Biomedical Careers Program (BCP) for pre-health professional undergraduate students, and a Pre-matriculation Summer Program (PSP) for incoming medical students.
