The Health and Medical Apprenticeship Program (HMAP)
was created in 1984 by four U.C. Berkeley undergraduates with the goal
of introducing Berkeley students to issues and ethical dilemmas related
to the fields of health and medicine. The results of their efforts are
three subprograms: the class Public Health 116 (formerly
IDS 130), the Field Study Internship (FSI), and the
Health Service Internship (HSI). Please navigate
our sub-program pages for more information about what we do.
HMAP is
entirely-run by five coordinators and fifty teaching assistants,
all of whom are volunteer undergraduate UC Berkeley students. It
continues to expose over 1,000 students every year to a broad spectrum
of experiences in health and medicine, as well as emphasizes participatory
learning. HMAP is sponsored by the School
of Public Health and is an ASUC Student-Initiated
Service Group.
