The goal of the UAMS Arkansas Delta Health Careers Opportunity Program Academy is to ensure that students from all backgrounds have the access, education and training essential for pursuing careers as health professionals. This federally funded initiative equips students with essential skills to help them compete for admission to health or allied health professions schools, enroll in these schools, and eventually graduate from them.
The Health Careers Opportunity Program is committed to nurturing the next generation of health care professionals. Our mission is to provide support and opportunities for individuals passionate about making a difference in the health sector, regardless of their background. HCOP is your stepping stone to a fulfilling career, offering guidance, resources, and mentorship to help you navigate the path to becoming a healthcare professional.
