Future Health Leaders: Care Begins Here

About the activity:

If you’re passionate about health, healing, and making a difference, the Precollege Healthcare Program at Lewis & Clark College is the perfect place to start your journey! Spend an exciting week exploring the science behind health innovations in real research labs at Lewis & Clark and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Experience mini-med school, earn CPR certification, and dive into public health communication through a hands-on Public Service Announcement project. You’ll also gain valuable skills in research-based writing designed to strengthen connections between patients and providers. Beyond the labs, you'll build friendships with like-minded peers—future healthcare colleagues—and leave with hands-on experience, leadership training, and a head start in your health-related studies. Your future in healthcare starts here! Students who complete a precollege summer program and are later admitted to L&C will get preferential consideration for merit-based aid and are guaranteed to receive a minimum of $20,000/year in renewable scholarship funding in the form of a Sequoia or Oregon Maple scholarship.
