Parkview offers many opportunities for high school students to explore their interests in healthcare-related fields. With job shadows, apprenticeships, clinicals, observations and more, students can find the program that fits best with their goals and dreams. Diving into different clinical or non-clinical roles before starting college is a great way to kickstart any career or discover which fields could be a good fit.
Parkview’s FutureREADY program allows high school students to explore different career paths while fulfilling a semester long internship at school. This program is ideal for students with a general interest in healthcare, but who want to try on several options. Once enrolled in FutureREADY, you will select your areas of interest from a provided list of departments then the Parkview Education Services team will place you in six, week-long observations. From those six observations, you will then identify your top areas of interest where you’d like to spend the remainder of the semester. This allows students to have a variety of experiences as well as gain insight into potential career paths.
If you already know your career path or feel confident in your choice, read about our internship program below.
Our Student Nurse Program offers options for beginning nursing students as well as those who are nearing graduation and ready to transition into the nursing field.
