Program Description: During the junior year, Investigating Health Careers combines the high school disciplines of

Science, Social Studies, Math and English with various supervised clinical experiences at

Hershey Medical Center. In addition to the high school classroom experiences and the

Medical Center clinical experiences, there will be seminars on various health care careers and

related clinical topics by the Hershey Medical Center staff as well as an orientation to the

Medical Center.

During the senior year, students will select two clinical areas of interest where they will be

supervised by a Hershey Medical Center preceptor. Students will obtain more in-depth

knowledge in two of these areas with the opportunities for hands-on experience
