To promote interest among incoming ninth grade students at two specialized high schools for health professions, and to help these students prepare for the upcoming high school experience and for pursuit of education and careers in allied health and other health professions, a three-week Summer Health Professions Academy was established. Students, 82.8% of whom were African American or Hispanic, participated in relevant didactic and experiential activities, with emphasis on allied health. Science, problem solving, communications, health career counseling, and allied health career exploration activities are described. Results of instruments administered both prior to and following the Academy indicated that students improved their abilities to analyze and solve science problems, and increased their knowledge of the nine primarily allied health professions emphasized during the program. Students also demonstrated heightened awareness of the factors that could impede their pursuit of allied health professions and other health careers.
为了提高两所卫生职业专科高中即将入学的九年级学生的兴趣，并帮助这些学生为即将到来的高中学习以及从事相关健康和其他卫生职业的教育与职业做好准备，设立了一个为期三周的暑期卫生职业学院。学生中82.8%为非裔美国人或西班牙裔，他们参加了相关的理论和实践活动，重点是相关健康领域。文中描述了科学、问题解决、沟通、健康职业咨询以及相关健康职业探索活动。在学院前后实施的测评工具结果表明，学生们提高了分析和解决科学问题的能力，增加了对该项目中重点强调的九个主要相关健康职业的了解。学生们还表现出对可能阻碍他们从事相关健康职业和其他卫生职业的因素有了更高的认识。
