Welcome to the Web site of the NC Health
Careers Access Program (NC-HCAP).

We are committed to our mission of increasing the
number of individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds
who are trained, educated and employed in the health professions. This site provides information on our
programs and services to assist you on your journey
to becoming a health professional.

For over 35 years, we have exposed thousands of students to the myriad of health career choices available to them. In addition to providing awareness, we work diligently to assist students in increasing their level of competitiveness for entry into graduate/health professional programs. There continues to be a shortage of minority health care professionals. You can decrease this shortage, help to provide culturally competent health care and accomplish your goals all at the same time.

We are here to assist you with your journey. Let NC-HCAP be a part of your team!
