Tapping the Power of Health Pathways in Early College High Schools
May 23, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am
| Free
Description
The healthcare workforce crisis is high on the list of challenges that Massachusetts faces coming out of the pandemic. Among the potential responses, Early College holds enormous promise. This transformative model for powerful high school, higher education, and industry partnerships is gaining momentum and demonstrating impressive results across the state.
Please join us for a conversation on how we can work together to ensure that Early College health pathways deliver fully on their potential to help thousands of underrepresented students succeed in clinical careers.
Thank you to the Trefler Foundation for their support of this event.
