Health Careers Opportunity Program

Located on the University of Massachusetts Boston campus, the Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) is an educational program funded through the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). HCOP is a partnership among UMass Boston, Tufts University, Tufts University School of Medicine, and the Center for Community Health Education, Research and Service (CCHERS).

The mission of the program is to create a "pipeline" that starts at the middle and high schools in Boston, continues through the undergraduate programs at Tufts University and UMass Boston, and culminates in the graduate-level public health and medical programs at Tufts University School of Medicine.
