Lowcountry
AHEC’s Health Careers Program (HCP) and Health Profession Student (HPS) Program
are collaborating on the AHEC Pipeline Connects project for the third consecutive
year. The project enables participating HPS students to practice working as an
interprofessional team by teaching HCP and middle school students about healthcare
professions. Lowcountry AHEC also hopes to increase interest and recruit
middle school students into their HCP program and, ultimately, to increase the
number of HCP students being accepted into health careers programs and becoming
health professionals.
In 2016, Lowcountry AHEC will begin Connecting the AHEC Pipeline, an
activity that connects eighth grade students at Colleton County Middle School
who are interested in health careers with the HCP students and HPS students.
During the eighth grade students’ last class period, the HPS students will share
information about their health career
and discuss what students need to do to be accepted into a health
profession program.
Additionally, Lowcountry
AHEC HPS coordinators and the health professions students will meet to discuss
their respective disciplines. Health profession students will be recruited from
colleges and universities from around the Lowcountry for participation.
Stay tuned for the results of the program. To learn more about Lowcountry AHEC, go to www.lcahec.com
