The Professional Education Preparation Program (PEPP) offered by 蝴蝶直播’s Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (KYCOM) exists to remedy the significantly underserved medical needs of Kentucky’s rural areas by addressing the chronic under-representation of Kentucky residents in medical schools.
PEPP accepts Kentucky high school students. The program annually enrolls approximately 25-30 high school students in a one-week summer residential program that offers participants a variety of educational experiences targeted to enhance their personal interest in a medical career, add to their understanding of the elements of a medical education and expand their awareness of how medicine is practiced in a rural setting. Typically, PEPP activities include lectures, anatomical laboratory sessions, volunteer work in the local hospital and participation in relevant social and cultural events.
PEPP was established by the 1980 Kentucky General Assembly (KRS 162.028) for the purpose of increasing the number and proportion of students particularly from medically underserved areas of the Commonwealth who apply to, are accepted by and graduate from medical school.
Given that applications exceed program capacity, students entering grade 12 who meet program requirements are accepted first, followed by students entering grade 11. Participants must be at 16 years of age to participate in shadowing at Pikeville Medical Center.
