Health Careers

We Educate, Explore, and Engage

The Health Careers Service Line recruits, trains, retains, and supports North Carolina students. Our program is funded through a model state-supported grant to improve the supply and distribution of the healthcare workforce.

At Piedmont AHEC, our initiative is to educate youth from pre-college to college and beyond. We aim to develop and maintain community initiatives and identify gaps in the educational pathway. We offer these services by facilitating health-career exposure and enrichment, academic preparedness through math and science, critical-thinking skills enrichment, clinical observations, leadership skills, and other activities related to emerging and trending healthcare topics.

We work with colleges, universities, county school systems, and regional healthcare agencies on health career efforts all across our eight-county service region. We welcome new partners and teacher champions to assist with our programs. The Health Careers Service Line program continues to strengthen the healthcare workforce.
