Undergraduate Pre-Health Program (UPP)

University of Colorado Denver – Anschutz Medical Campus & Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser Permanente Colorado partners with the University of Colorado Denver - Anschutz Medical Campus – Office of Diversity and Inclusion to manage the Undergraduate Pre-health Program (UPP); which provides summer internships for undergraduate students interested in pursuing the health care professions of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, research, and nutrition.

The program offers a paid internship for 10-12 weeks of the summer, education & training for 2 weeks of the summer to focus on health disparities that disproportionately affect the community, research opportunities, and access to simulation and cadaver labs.  Interns also attend Saturday Academies throughout the school year that included an array of topics from test preparation, and mock interviews, to writing personal statements required for application to the professional schools.
