“Know where you are. Know what comes next.”

Welcome to UC PRIME Pre-Health Pathways (UC3P)

UC3P is a pre-health pathways program run in collaboration by the UCI School of Medicine and School of Social Sciences, guiding first-gen and underrepresented students through every step of the path so no one has to figure it out alone. Lift as we climb. —UC PRIME Pre-Health Pathways (UC3P) Team

What is UC3P?

UC3P (UC PRIME Pre-Health Pathways) opens the door to health careers for students who don't have insider access to how those paths actually work. Housed in UC Irvine's School of Social Sciences and built in partnership with the School of Medicine, UC3P walks students from their first year of college all the way to health professional school, pairing them at every step with mentors who've just walked the same road.

At UC3P, as each student grows, they are equipped to support those coming after them. That's what we mean when we say: Lift as We Climb.
