Health Career Clubs
ClubMed Description
This exciting Health Careers Program meets twice a month with students at high schools in all AHEC regions in Oregon. In the Oregon Pacific AHEC region, the program provides students from Taft, Toledo, Siletz, Willamina, Grande Ronde, and Vernonia schools with interactive activities and information about health careers, college preparation, study skills, job shadowing and internships.
