The SHPEP National Alumni Advisory Board is proud to announce the Rubens J. Pamies, MD Opportunity Fund Scholarship application is now open! The application deadline for this scholarship is May 1, 2024, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
This scholarship was established by the SHPEP National Alumni Advisory Board in honor of the late Dr. Pamies, who was devoted to ending health disparities. Many past program participants looked to him as a mentor and role model, and his unwavering work ethic created more opportunities for individuals from underrepresented communities to pursue careers in healthcare.

- Application fees
- Admission test preparation courses (e.g. MCAT, DAT, OAT)
- Travel expenses for interviews
- Examination fees
Applicants must be program alums (SHPEP, SMDEP, SMEP, or MMEP past participants) who are currently applying (or will be applying in the next six months) to a professional or graduate degree program related to a health profession* in order to be considered for the scholarship.
*Health professions include but are certainly not limited to: Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Public Health, and Veterinary Medicine.
The review of applications will be based on each applicant’s accomplishments, financial need, and commitment to addressing and eradicating health disparities. Applicants are encouraged to describe their academic and personal highlights as well as how receiving the scholarship would assist them in reaching their educational and professional goals.
To assist applicants in standing out during the application process, the SHPEP National Alumni Advisory Board will host a virtual scholarship workshop on April 17, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Warm regards,
SHPEP National Program Office

- Career Services Tips & May Events
Student Tip of the Month: Dress Professionally in Your Professional Profile Pics
Do you have a profile picture on your LinkedIn and Handshake profiles? Profiles with a picture get more views by recruiters and indicate you are a motivated job seeker to employers. But it would be best if you looked “professional” in your professional headshot (and any other public profile pic), similar to something you might wear to a job interview or career networking event. Beyond clothing, hair should be trimmed, with work-appropriate makeup and limited accessories. And no, selfies are NOT OKAY. Take the time and do it right.
