The Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program (HPREP) developed  by the Weill Cornell chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) exposes high school sophomore and junior minority students, interested in a career in science and/or medicine, to science-related activities. HPREP also teaches students about specific career fields and the steps needed to become a physician or other health care provider.

During the ten-week program, 10th and 11th grade high school students are exposed to physicians and health care professional from minority groups. These professionals give lectures on a broad range of topics and, in addition, the students participate in small group workshops led by medical students. The participants are also required to submit a short research paper on a pre-approved subject at the conclusion of the program.
