Program Highlights:
This one-year program allows high school seniors to explore careers in health care through partnerships with Rochester General Hospital and St. Ann’s Community. Students participate in a rigorous academic program with hands-on experience in medical careers.

This placement provides the student with an indepth look at the responsibilities of patient care in a health care facility.
