Health Careers Exploring Program

The program aims to provide students in 9th to 12th grade with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at various healthcare roles, educational pathways, and the future of healthcare. They will have the opportunity to hear from Baptist Health's clinical and non-clinical experts. The program also includes mentoring and community service activities to help develop each student's character. Baptist Health believes that students aspiring to pursue a healthcare career should possess a servant's heart and a willingness to help others.

If you are interested in joining the Health Careers Exploring Program at Baptist Health, please reach out to our Community Events Coordinator, Isis Hunley, at Exploring@baptistfirst.org.

• The orientation will take place at the end of September. In Montgomery, the meetings are scheduled for the fourth Monday of each month at the UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic. In Prattville, they are scheduled for the fourth Tuesday of each month at Prattville Baptist Hospital. The program runs throughout the school year, and in May, there is an award ceremony where students receive their certificate of completion.
• The registration fee for the Exploring Program is $50.00, payable at the meeting to expedite enrollment upon your decision to join. Baptist Health provides materials and light refreshments for all meetings at no cost. We kindly request all participants to commit to attending the monthly meetings and actively engage in exploring healthcare careers.

The Exploring Program, an initiative operated by the Boy Scouts of America, is established in collaboration with numerous businesses, organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies across the country. Its primary objective is to provide students with the opportunity to gain insight into diverse career paths. You can find more information about Exploring at www.learningforlife.org.
