The journey to a health career starts now.
K-12 programs may include puppet shows, after-school clubs, workshops, summer programs, and special events.
In middle school, students can begin documenting and reporting service and educational activities through NC AHEC’s Passport Program.
In high school, students can continue to explore and engage by visiting health care facilities and college campuses, and by participating in health science programs. They gain valuable volunteer experience, learn more about health careers professions, and understand job requirements. After high school, students can apply to be a part of the NC AHEC Scholars Program, where they can gain additional knowledge, experience, and networking opportunities.
Once a student enters a college or university, NC AHEC’s Student Services aids them through community-based student training, short-term lodging, community-based rotations, locating preceptors, and more.
