In 1974, the University of Nevada, Reno, received a special health careers opportunity grant to fund the Health Careers for American Indians Program (HCAIP).  Aimed at increasing the number of Native American students enrolled in the university's model interdisciplinary health sciences program, HCAIP concentrated its first efforts on recruiting promosing high school students into a variety of health careers requiring university level training by means of a 6-week Summer Health Careers Program.
