Join BHPO

The purpose of the Black Health Professions
Organization is to foster an environment that supports minority
undergraduates in their efforts to enter into a healthcare related professional school. BHPO works to connect students with resources including networking, shadowing, volunteering, and test prep. Though we are not a social organization, members benefit from a close-knit group that uplifts one another beyond professional development and engages with the local community to improve health outcomes.
