The significance and impact of healthcare professionals are highlighted more than ever with the COVID-19 pandemic The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> has worked to establish special Early Acceptance Programs<\/a> (EAP<\/abbr>s) with select institutions across the country to initiate early acceptance programs that would grant qualified students and\/or alumni provisional acceptance into specific health professional doctoral programs.<\/p>\n

The areas include dentistry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, and physical therapy. Providing these EAP<\/abbr>s encourages and supports students who are interested in pursuing a career in these fields. EAPs are an excellent opportunity for students as admissions into these programs are extremely competitive.<\/p>\n

Moreover, there are no doctoral programs of these types offered on Oʻahu,<\/span> so these EAPs will provide UH<\/abbr> Mānoa students with the opportunity to pursue educational and professional options that are not offered in the state. <\/p>\n

“We are hopeful that graduates from these programs will return to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> to practice and help address the state\u2019s shortage of healthcare professionals,” EAP<\/abbr> Director Kiana Shiroma<\/strong> said. “In the face of a worldwide health crisis it is even more important for UH<\/abbr> Mānoa to find paths for better medical coverage in our state.”<\/p>\n

EAP<\/abbr> applications are separate from the standard UH<\/abbr> Mānoa application and have different deadlines. Depending on the program, students can apply as high school seniors, current undergraduates, and\/or as alumni. More information is available on the EAP<\/abbr> website<\/a>. Those who are interested can also contact the Pre-Health\/Pre-Law Advising Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
