Cascades East Area Health Education Center
Cascades East AHEC hosts TWO programs for high school students to help them learn more about careers in health care:
1) Health Occupations Program at St. Charles Health System: Students have the opportunity to job shadow a variety of health care professions. High school educators can contact Emily Clark for more information about this program: erclark@stcharleshealthcare.org
2) Diagnosis Day: One-day experience on the St. Charles, Bend campus for high school students from rural Central Oregon with an interest in health care careers. Student participants will follow a “patient” from incident- to ambulance- to emergency room- throughout the entire hospital experience, including rehab, recovery and release. Along the way, students will be exposed to many of the various health care careers that impact that patient, as well as receive a hands-on experience with an advanced simulation manikin.
