collage of high school students learning about health professions careers

Stony Brook Medicine’s Health Occupations Partnership for Excellence (HOPE) program is seeking applications for current sophomores who will be juniors during the 2026-27 school year. HOPE is a two-year after-school program that creates opportunities for promising high school students from underserved and underrepresented communities to learn about careers in healthcare. Through classes and workplace shadowing experiences with Stony Brook Medicine faculty, students will learn about the skills it takes to be nurses, physicians, physical therapists, laboratory technicians and other healthcare professionals. Candidates are expected to participate for the full two-year program and have no more than three absences.

Applications are due by Thursday, May 14. Please click here to submit your application and see the full flyer linked here!
