Summer Public Health Scholars Program

Summer Public Health Scholars Program SPHSP is designed for undergraduate students to increase interest in and knowledge of public health and biomedical science careers.

The SPHSP is an undergraduate-level initiative housed by Columbia University Medical Center. This program is targeted toward underrepresented students to learn about public health, specifically minority health disparities. During the program, students are introduced to the field of public health by taking introductory public health courses. Students are also placed in an internship, which may focu

s on health policy, environmental health, behavioral health, epidemiology, reproductive health, or other public health issues. The common thread among all these internships is the issue of health disparities. The SPHSP is a collaboration of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, College of Physicians & Surgeons, College of Dental Medicine, and School of Nursing.

“I always say that I’ve done a life sentence-- in installments. My behavior funneled me into the criminal justice system at the age of 17. I’ve done three state bids and numerous stints at Rikers. The cycle of recidivism is difficult to break. When you come out of prison, you have nothing: no home, no family, no money, and no job. The only thing you have is your social standing. And if your social standing in jail is perceived as higher than that on the outside, sometimes it’s preferable to go back. In prison, they called me ‘Pops.’ I got privileges. People respected me. I felt valued. When I got out, I had to start over.”
