The High School Alliance of Future Physicians (HSAFP) is a nationwide program that connects high school students with the resources, mentorship, and hands‑on experiences they need to prepare for a career in medicine. HSAFP offers a physician‑crafted curriculum, virtual and in‑person medical skills workshops, shadowing and research opportunities, and college‑admissions guidance, all designed to equip aspiring future physicians with critical pre‑med competencies and leadership experience.

An HSAFP membership ($25/year) gives you access to a physician‑crafted monthly curriculum with hands‑on medical workshops, virtual shadowing, volunteering and research opportunities, expert‑led webinars and college application guidance. You can earn digital certificates and honor cords, apply for scholarships, join research journal clubs, lead community health projects, and connect with peers and mentors in our national network.

With medical school acceptance rates at just 5%, success starts before med school. HSAFP lets you explore medicine early through physician‑led workshops, virtual shadowing and community health projects. You build a résumé that stands out, develop leadership skills, and see if medicine is right for you before college even begins.

HSAFP provides tailored college‑admissions support through expert‑led webinars featuring former admissions officers and college advisors, pre‑med application workshops, and one‑on‑one guidance on crafting a standout profile. Students will build a competitive resume by earning digital certificates and honor cords for demonstrating AAMC pre‑med competencies, completing hands‑on workshops, virtual shadowing and community service projects, and you gain access to scholarship opportunities and a nationwide network of physician and advisor mentors to strengthen your application.
