Health Careers Promotion

Health Careers Promotion focuses on high school students and those enrolled in health career training programs at post-secondary institutions.

As part of the NE AHEC’s health careers pipeline initiative, the Health Careers Promotion division plays a vital role in inspiring regional students to explore and pursue careers in health care.

The High School Programs offered through our Health Careers Promotion division are designed for students attending schools within our seventeen-county service region. These programs provide valuable opportunities for high school students to explore various careers in health care through hands-on experiences, monthly meetings, shadowing, and workshops. By engaging in these initiatives, students gain insights into the diverse health professions available to them, inspiring them to consider a future in health care. We aim to equip students with the knowledge and resources they need to pursue their interests and succeed in their health career aspirations.

Our high school programs include:

Careers in Health Advanced Summer Experience (CHASE) 

CHARGE High School   

Rural Health Scholars

School Presentations

NE AHEC's undergraduate programs are tailored for students from our service region or those attending post-secondary institutions within our community who are earning a degree in the health care field.

Our commitment to bringing our best back home ensures that students have the opportunity to develop personal and professional connections essential for success in their future careers.
