CREATING A PIPELINE TO HEALTH CAREERS The Health Career Pathways program aims to increase the number of underrepresented students entering health professions and provide a more diverse workforce to meet the health care needs of the communities they serve. The program identifies and recruits students at every educational level (from elementary to high school, as well as undergraduate and post-graduate programs), who have an expressed interest and academic potential for a health professions career. The program offers academic support, mentoring and career exploration activities during the academic year and through summer science enrichment programs. Participating students gain exposure to health careers and prepare to be competitive applicants to health professions programs.
