THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 1, 2019 Page 5 EHS Health Science Pathway students accepted into HPREP at Harvard Medical School E verett High School Health Science Pathway students were recently accepted into the highly competitive Health Professions Recruitment & Exposure Program (HPREP) at Harvard Medical School. The program’s goal is to recruit underserved and underrepresented high school students into science and medicine, and in so doing, to work towards eliminating disparities in physician and scientist training, health care treatment and health care access. HPREP consists of 10 sessions that combine interactive science lessons with oneon-one mentoring and career/ academic guidance. HPREP focuses on cultivating the skills students need to transform their passion into a career in science or medicine.
