The School of Health Related Professions (SHRP) is dedicated to improving lives by achieving the highest standards of performance in education, research, and healthcare to help meet the health care needs of Mississippi. Since 1971, SHRP has trained more than 3,000 allied-health professionals.

UMMC receives approximately 11 percent of its operating funds from the state. The dramatic improvements in programs and facilities made by the Medical Center during the last 15 years could not have been possible without substantial private philanthropic support.
