Summer Health Careers Academy
The Summer Careers Academy is presented by the South Carolina AHEC in collaboration with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Colleges of Dental Medicine, Health Professions, Nursing, Medicine, and MUSC Library. The Summer Careers Academy is a one-week summer program designed to help students, especially from rural/underserved areas and minorities underrepresented in healthcare, prepare for entry in health professions programs in South Carolina.
Summer Health Careers Academy Components:
• This year’s program will be a blended format: instruction on June 5 will be online followed with in-person programming on MUSC’s campus in Charleston from June 6-9.
• Classroom lectures and project topics will focus on several health disparities prevalent in South Carolina. Academy Fellows will complete a group capstone project related to a health disparity topic and present it to faculty and staff at the end of the program.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $200 upon the successful completion of the Academy.
