Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools (HSHPS), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established in 1996 with support from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in response to Executive Order 12900, “Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans.” The organization was launched as a part of the “Hispanic Agenda for Action Initiative” and is the only national organization representing Hispanic-serving health professions schools. Today, HSHPS represents 25 medical schools and schools of public health nationwide serving over 40% of Hispanic medical school graduates and nearly 1 out of every 6 Hispanic schools of public health graduates in the continental United States as well as a broader network of more than 300 researchers who address health issues among Hispanics.
Over the past several years, HSHPS has collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the world’s premier public health agency, to provide academic and professional development training to minority students and recent graduates who are interested in improving the health status of Hispanics across the country. The goal of the training programs is to increase overall knowledge of public health and to provide the necessary tools needed to enhance trainees’ careers in medicine and public health.
