Healthcare+ Pathways™

Healthcare+ Pathways™, an educational enrichment program for high school freshmen, is designed to increase the participation of under-represented groups (American Indian or Alaskan Native, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander) interested in building a strong foundation in core academic content areas. This two-week paid program exposes students to various careers and aspects in the fields of science, math, medicine, engineering, entrepreneurship, and technology. Students will learn from world-renowned healthcare professionals to develop the skill sets needed to think critically, problem-solve, communicate, and challenge their own learning to compete in a global economy.
