Purpose of our Program

The purpose of the AHCPP is toincrease
exposure, access, readiness, academic
success and retention for students from
underrepresented and disadvantaged
backgrounds with particular emphasis on
those fromrural areaswho want to pursue
health professions degrees.

Design of the AHCPP

The AHCPP was designed based on
research completed during the planning
phase of the AHCPP grant.
Research included town hall meetings,
which resulted in feedback used to create
a framework of educational pipeline
activities designed to address specific
needs of Southwest Ohio rural
communities.

advisory board, four main activities were
deemed essential for pipeline activities:

schools
