A Community Partnership Advocating and Supporting
Health Career Professions For Students
 

WELCOME!
 

Welcome to the Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP). We're excited that you stopped by!

Now that you’re here, we extend to you an invitation to take a look at the wonderful programs and activities HCOP offers to our high school and college participants.  Our program is located on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV.

Would you like to develop the skills, abilities and knowledge base to become successful in the health science professions? Would you like to learn through experiences outside of the classroom by shadowing a physician on his/her rounds? Would you like to have the advantage of taking practice health career school entrance tests? What if you could relieve some of the anxiety of medical school admissions interviews by practicing mock interviews?
 

You can at HCOP!
