ABOUT
Established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), SMDEP is a free six-week residential program for first and second year college students interested in medicine and dentistry. This program follows the former MMEP and SMEP programs.
Hosted at 12 institutions across the nation, the program aims to assist students who represent economic, geographic, cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity in their pursuit of gaining admission to both medical and dental school.
As health care disparities continue to persist, SMDEP is committed to developing a diverse medical and dental workforce as they will be well-suited to address such gaps
