Individualized Career Planning Session: Students spend time with an AHEC Staff Member to discuss health careers of interest, educational pathways to getting there, and goal setting for the year.

Workshops: AHEC has developed workshops that benefit students interested in the health fields, based on our relationships with health profession school faculty and current health professions requirements

Online Training Modules: AHEC provides access to online training curriculum that prepares students for health careers based on the National Healthcare Skills Standards.

Shadowing and Volunteering: Each health career requires different recommended hours of shadowing. Depending on their fields of interest, students may be encouraged and/or required to complete more than just the minimum number of job shadowing hours for each tier. Students may also substitute shadowing with volunteer hours in a pre-approved healthcare setting such as a clinic, hospital, long-term care health facility or health-related non-profit organization.

Reflection Notebook: Students will need to complete reflection entries following every shadowing and/or volunteering opportunity and workshop attended. Reflecting on activities allows the students to learn from their participation and can help prepare them for discussion during intervieews with health professions schools and/or health-related jobs.

Identify and Research a Health Platform: Students will identify, research, and create an action plan to address a health platform such as juvenile diabetes, breast cancer, tobacco cessation, etc.

Service Learning Project: Champion your Healthcare Platform: Students will carry out the action plan of their chosen platform to champion awareness and prevention through education and community awareness projects.
