University of Pittsburgh Health Career Scholars Academy (Pittsburgh, PA)

The goal of the UPHCSA is to introduce and expose students to the world of health care, including issues of primary care, prevention, public health, human growth and development, and areas of practice. Students will participate in hands-on learning, core courses, concentration courses, small discussion groups, simulations, team projects, presentations and multiple site visits. The living-learning experience will prepare students to be empathetic and culturally competent in their careers, understand what course of action is necessary for them to reach their goals, and incorporate what they learn into a medical profession.

This truly is an amazing, but rigorus, opportunity for any student interested in health care. The work required is demanding, but the benefits far outweigh any negative. I attended in 2005; this program is incredible.

I attended PGSHC this past summer (2005). It was an amazing experience and I am so glad I had it. I feel that I am prepared for college far more than most of my classmates.

Gives students good expierences but requires a lot of hard work and stress management.

I attended the program in 2003 and would highly recommend it to anyone. The experience was invaluable. The program also allows students to interact with professionals at the top of their fields.
