Program Description: During the junior year, Investigating Health Careers combines the high school disciplines of
Science, Social Studies, Math and English with various supervised clinical experiences at
Hershey Medical Center. In addition to the high school classroom experiences and the
Medical Center clinical experiences, there will be seminars on various health care careers and
related clinical topics by the Hershey Medical Center staff as well as an orientation to the
Medical Center.
During the senior year, students will select two clinical areas of interest where they will be
supervised by a Hershey Medical Center preceptor. Students will obtain more in-depth
knowledge in two of these areas with the opportunities for hands-on experience
