Another exciting area of development in the partnership has been through the WCCHC Youth Health Corps. For years, this program has allowed high school students on the coast to explore careers in the health field through shadowing actual health professionals during their school day. Discussions have begun that will hopefully open this opportunity to Kamaile Academy High School students in the near future. Affiliated with this program is the Youth Health Academy, a six-week summer program that gives similar opportunities to 10th-12th grade students. Last summer, 2 Kamaile students took part in the program. Those same students enrolled this summer in the first ever WCCHC Community Health Summer Internship Program alongside college students and high school seniors. In addition, the 2nd-year medical students on campus became college and career mentors for the high school. After finishing their “Mini Doc” classes, the medical students invited high school students to join them for their lunch period to discuss college, careers in the health field, and any other topics that arose.
