## About this program

Della Keats is a four-week residential program for high school students on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, run by the UAA WWAMI School of Medical Education (Alaska WWAMI). The program is fully funded, including travel, food and accommodations. It is named after Della Keats, an Inupiaq traditional healer from the Kotzebue region.

Current high school juniors and seniors (at the time of application), including recent graduates, who are interested in a career in healthcare; high school-aged students completing a GED may also apply. Applicants show an interest in health careers, biomedical research or medicine, and submit a personal statement and at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, Elder or mentor. The program gives preference to Alaska Native students and to students who live off the road system; out-of-state applicants may be considered, with preference for ties to Alaska.
