HCOP & COE Profiles of Success
The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) and the Centers
of Excellence (COE) are two diversity programs authorized under
Title VII of the Public Health Service Act. Together, these programs
function to increase the representation of minority and disadvantaged
students in the health professions by developing a "pipeline"
to the health professions for K-12 and college students, and providing
mentorship and support for enrolled health professions students.
