As a healthcare field immersion program, students will explore related career pathways as they participate in scheduled rotations at Crouse Hospital, the Syracuse VA Medical Center and SUNY Upstate Medical University. Students will experience the medical profession first-hand by working with physicians, nurses and other health professionals. Through a combination of research and hands-on projects, students will learn about medical ethics, patient rights, human anatomy and physiology, governmental regulations, and health careers. Students will also earn CPR and First Aid certification and fulfill their English 12, Participation in Government, and Economics requirements toward graduation. 

Eligibility requirements: Interested students must be in their senior year of high school, in good academic standing and on target with all graduation requirements.
