Welcome to the AMP Recruitment Page!


Maintaining the pipeline of competitive, driven URM medical students, residents, and fellows who are educated and trained in our academic centers is one of the tenets of AMP. In order to do this, we make Recruitment one of our top priorities. Our Departments Chairs and Division Chiefs, as well as Program leaders have recognized the importance of reaching out to competitive URM applicants.

CHOP as well as each UPHS department is represented by an AMP department representative. Representatives serve as liaisons between departments and AMP and assist with the recruitment and retainment of underrepresented minority housestaff and faculty.  In addition, department representatives facilitate under representative minority medical student transitions between clinical rotations in respective departments. Please see below for the 2014 - 2015 list of AMP department representatives. For more information and to contact a department representative directly please send email to amp@uphs.upenn.edu.
