The overall goal of the Healthcare Education Scholars Program (HESP) is to enhance the knowledge of educators and to foster a sense of academic scholarship in health professions education.

Application deadline for 2025-2026: April 15, 2025 at midnight.

We provide theoretical scaffolding to those activities that our clinician educators take part in on a daily basis, as well as promote a deeper understanding of how these activities relate to our goal of producing more effective healthcare providers. We aim to inspire innovation and scholarship among the participants, develop a community of scholars who can support each other, and ultimately provide leadership for the next generation of clinician educators.
