The MED Academy was developed to increase the number of students who graduate from high school and continue to college to become competitive applicants to health professional schools. MED Academy students will be exposed to the broad range of health careers that are open to them through study trips, volunteer experiences, summer job opportunities, job shadowing, guest speakers, parent enrichment workshops, and professional internships.
