• WHAT SAHPA IS

======================

S.A.H.P.A. stands for South Asian Health Professions Association. We are an organization composed of (but not restricted to) South Asians with an interest in pursuing education and/or a career in health. In our culture, there is a strong affinity for careers in the fields of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, nursing, and other such health careers.

• WHAT SAHPA DOES

========================

SAHPA is an organization committed to benefiting its members by providing opportunities to learn more about the health professions and be prepared for a career in healthcare. We do this by participating in volunteer and social events. SAHPA also serves as an environment where questions regarding the field can be answered and advice, if requested, be given.
