How do I apply for the HHP?
Please contact the LHP to apply
When is the application deadline?
Prior to December 31st.
What will happen if I do not get my first choices for my LHP required clinic site?
All LHP students are encouraged to inform the PCP/RUOP/Clinical Site Coordinators of their LHP status when applying for their sites. Also, when you submit your rotation track preferences to the registrar be sure to inform them of your LHP status. If you cannot get assigned to a LHP listed site, contact the LHP Director as soon as possible. Please remember that the program site coordinators and the registrar will try to do their best in accommodating you if it is possible. Due to the constraints of the number of medical students that need to be accommodated, the number of clinic sites, and the competition for some of the most popular sites, we ask that you respect the decisions that are made.
Are there other clinic sites not listed on the LHP approved site list that would count for completion?
There probably are. The list is by no means meant to be complete, but is a work in progress. There may be other clinic sites that other students and/or residents may have told you about that was a great experience with a Hispanic community. Please consult the HHP Director about a clinic site of interest so that he can investigate the feasibility of the clinic site BEFORE you make arrangements.
Can projects completed as a requirement for the Global Health pathway or a RUOP non-Hispanic site receive credit for the III-Scholarly Project of the LHP?
Yes. Potentially credit can be attained by completing a paper that links your project to the overall goals of the LHP. You will need to alert the LHP Director if you intend to seek dual credit.
When can I begin working on the required online modules?
Right away! This is a good opportunity for students, especially first-year WWAMI students, to begin working on the HHP requirements early. Access to the online modules will require you to have your UW Net ID available.
When do I need to have the LHP requirements completed in order to get my LHP completion mentioned in my Dean’s Letter?
You must have applied to LHP and made significant progress in fulfilling the requirements by the beginning of August of your 4th or final year of medical school in order for the LHP to be mentioned in your Dean’s Letter. If you have made significant progress by then we will write that you “are working towards” LHP completion.
When do I need to have the LHP requirements completed in order to receive my certificate of completion?
You must have all of the LHP requirements completed no later than April 1 preceding graduation.
Contact the LHP Director if you have any questions.

Potentially credit can be attained by completing a paper that links your project to the overall goals of the LHP. You will need to alert the LHP Director if you intend to seek dual credit.
