Science, Technology, and Healthcare Careers Camp | Overview
Mission: To inspire future healthcare leaders from the diverse communities we serve- one student at a time.
In partnership with the Mother Caroline Academy, the STHC is designed to expose students from first-generation and less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds to a range of experiences with the primary aim of considering future careers in healthcare. The STHC offers insight into a variety of pathways to healthcare education and to a future career in healthcare.
