Healthcare Career Pathways
In Uplift Education’s Healthcare Pathways program, scholars can earn college credits through dual credit courses while exploring healthcare careers in collaboration with Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH). Beginning in the 9th grade, scholars receive mentorship from experienced professionals, hands-on clinical experiences, state-of-the-art learning facilities at school, pathways to employment, and tuition reimbursement once employed by BSWH.
