The Summer Health Education Research Program (SHERP), hosted by the Humana Integrated Health System Sciences Institute, is preparing the next generation of healthcare leaders by giving students hands-on experience tackling real-world population health challenges through research, collaboration and innovation.

Inside the gleaming halls of the University of Houston’s Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine, future physicians are on the cutting edge of technology and innovation — every tool, from digital anatomy tables to virtual surgery modules, is designed to prepare them for the rapidly evolving world of modern medicine.

The Humana Integrated Health Systems Sciences Institute’s SHERP High School Scholars Program is giving Houston-area high school students an early look at the many career paths available in healthcare while introducing them to research, clinical experiences and the importance of working across disciplines.
