High School Student Programs

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.
