The Urban Health Program (UHP) was established in 1978, to recruit and support students from underrepresented minority into the health sciences.
The mission of the University of Illinois at Chicago's Urban Health Program is to recruit, retain, and graduate underrepresented racial/ethnic minority students, specifically African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans, in the health professions, and to expand educational opportunities for these populations at the pre-college (K-12), undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels.
