Cal Poly Humboldt Post Baccalaureate Program

OUR MISSION

In partnership with Cal Poly Humboldt, UC Davis School of Medicine launched Huwighurruk (hee-way-gou-duck), a postbaccalaureate pathway program for learners who are passionate about providing healthcare to American Indian/Alaska Native communities. Huwighurruk is designed to support participants on their journey to medicine.

In the Wiyot language, huwighurruk means plants, grass, leaves, and medicine. Our Huwighurruk scholars will be immersed in a culturally-focused framework intertwined with courses at Cal Poly Humboldt. Our mission is to successfully recruit, retain, and train prospective medical students focused on serving American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and communities in both rural and urban areas.
