Overview Paragraph

We are committed to preparing a diverse community of students to become life-long learners and providers of excellent health care. Our curriculum is embedded with health-related themes while focused on the sciences. Students may earn college credits through our partnerships with Hostos Community Colleges and Lehman College. All students are required to complete 120 hours of fieldwork in one of our many health-related internships. Preparing students for college and the world of work is a necessity, so we employ a full-time College Bound Initiative counselor and various staff from community-based organizations (Liberty Partnership, Morris Heights Center) to support us in reaching that goal.
