PROGRAM CONCLUSION AND THANK YOU
Due to changes in institutional requirements, ACComPLISHED will not be offering additional programming in its current form, and this application is now closed.
Since ACComPLISHED was founded by Dr. Paul Lewis, the program has provided 2,180 high school students with opportunities to learn about community health, disease prevention, health literacy, and leadership. As community health liaisons, participating students collectively worked with more than 10,900 community members, sharing information about topics such as stroke, diabetes, hypertension, dementia, mental health, and other important health conditions.
We are incredibly proud of the thousands of educational, research, and community health projects our students have completed over the years. We are deeply grateful to every student, family member, educator, mentor, volunteer, and community partner who contributed to the ACComPLISHED community and helped make this work possible.
Although ACComPLISHED is concluding, we hope to share information in the future about new community health and educational opportunities being developed by members of the program’s former leadership.
To learn about future independent community health and educational opportunities, please explore our other programs here on the IYRC website or contact us at [email protected].
Please note that future programs will be separate from ACComPLISHED and Columbia University.

The Community Health Program is an excellent option for students contemplating a career in health or academia who want to make an impact in their community. Students will explore clinical correlates, engage in simulated patient encounters, and develop knowledge and skills in workshops. The students will hear from several physicians and allied health professionals. Students participate in a hybrid interdisciplinary community health program delivered throughout the summer with weekly Zooms and optional in-person events with collaborators. Each student is matched with personal mentors from leading universities; students write weekly reflections, complete validated questionnaires during in-class didactics, and implement a mentored capstone community intervention. Each student chooses 5 family or community members to teach program content to weekly as a health education liaison. There are hundreds of office hours over the course of the program to support students. Students are invited to present their projects at a symposium at Columbia VP&S at the end of the summer. |
