Southwest Indiana AHEC works to foster young students' interest in healthcare, while promoting academic preparation to ensure future success in their careers.
Regional schools and youth-serving programs can request presentations and activities related to college readiness and health professions. These can be either during the school day or after school. The Southwest Indiana AHEC staff will tailor the experience to meet the needs of your school or program. Presentation topics include information on health careers (overview or in-depth), college preparation, healthy lifestyles and good decision-making.
Southwest Indiana AHEC staff members are available to participate in your career fair. We will provide information on the vast array of available health careers, post-secondary educational opportunities to prepare for health careers in southwest Indiana, and workforce information related to health careers.
Southwest Indiana AHEC provides opportunities for educators to bring their students to a local college campus. This visit allows students to participate in hands-on activities with health professions programs, to experience what it is like to be on a college campus, and to have the opportunity to ask questions regarding college and programs of interest. This visit can be tailored to the needs of the students.
For more information on any of these programs, please contact Kerseclia L. Patterson at 812-228-5048 or email kpatterson@usi.edu.
