The Health Science Scholars program (HSS) offers exceptional students who are interested in the health professions and committed to community service a unique opportunity to enrich their undergraduate education. HSS brings together the best of two worlds: the close-knit community of a small program and the ample resources of one of the world’s leading research universities.
