Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The High School Alliance of Future Physicians (HSAFP) empowers high school students with the resources and opportunities needed to pursue a career in healthcare through our four-year HSAFP Curriculum.
The HSAFP Curriculum uniquely provides aspiring physicians with hands-on medical skills and a deeper understanding of the medical school journey through the AAMC Premed Competencies, which nearly all U.S. medical schools use to “evaluate applicants’ readiness for medical school” (AAMC, 2023). Our curriculum, created with our network of 150+ practicing U.S. physicians and college advisors, includes expert-led webinars, research & medical workshops, volunteer and leadership opportunities, and advice on college applications.
By joining HSAFP, students can develop essential skills, gain valuable experience, and build a strong network, all of which are crucial for a successful career in the medical field.
You may participate in the monthly curriculum by signing up for Connect as a National Member.
Please note that you will receive the most up-to-date information if you belong to an HSAFP Chapter. To start a chapter or see if one already exists, please search for your high school here.
That's fine! You can still start and lead your own HSAFP chapter by launching a virtual chapter!
Virtual chapters operate just like official HSAFP chapters, with a few key differences:
- Meetings:
Virtual chapters meet online, at a local library, in a quiet public space, or even at school if you get explicit permission from your school. - Teacher Advisor:
While virtual chapters don’t have a teacher advisor, some adult support might still be helpful. If you need help, try reaching out to parents or guardians—but don’t assign anyone responsibilities without asking! - Fundraising:
Virtual chapters can’t fundraise, which may limit participation in some parts of the curriculum that require funding.
Once your school’s club application period reopens, you can apply to switch to a regular chapter. Either way, your chapter will be fully recognized by HSAFP and considered official!
While our Pioneer website is specifically to onboard our Chapter Presidents, Connect is our social and learning management platform, where all HSAFP members can:
- Access and revisit the HSAFP Curriculum at any time, even after you graduate
- Connect with HSAFP members across the country
- Engage with peers from their own chapter
- Directly interact with physicians, advisors, and the HSAFP Executive Team
- Receive exclusive HSAFP updates
HSAFP Pioneer is our all-in-one onboarding platform that guides you through every step of starting a chapter—from finding a teacher advisor to hosting impactful events like blood drives. Plus, our dedicated chapter management team is here to support you personally every step of the way.
