Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet Cohort Healthcare Professional Program

St. Vincent Indianapolis will be hosting 10th and 11th graders from the Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet Cohort Healthcare Professional Program. The program exposes students to the possibilities within the healthcare industry. The internship is year long. The 10th grade class is exposed to a health profession and educated on that profession the entire year. The cohort groups include family practice physician, nursing, dentistry, health administration, radiology, speech pathology, medical interpretation, and pharmacy. The 10th graders will then write a paper and do a poster presentation to their family, teachers, and cohort leaders at the end of their studies.

The 11th graders are also being exposed to health care professions. They are exposed to a different health profession each month and then writing a paper on that profession providing further research by the student. The students are also getting college preparation in the form of SAT Preparation through Sylvan Learning Center.
