OUR PROGRAMS PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PHYSICIANS

The HSAFP Curriculum

HSAFP's events are guided by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Premed Competencies (see the infographic on the right). The AAMC competencies are "the standards expected of all applicants accepted to medical school [in the U.S.]."

HSAFP is also proud to collaborate with distinguished organizations that share our commitment to support and teach the next generation of healthcare leaders. Each partner brings unique expertise from professional and specialized resources that enhance the HSAFP experience.
