Health Careers Exploration Summer Camps

Practice ExamEach AHEC center offers a health careers summer camp for high school students in their region. The camp is geared toward students who think that they are interested in a health career. At the camp, students have an opportunity to learn more about different health career choices, touring hospitals, area college campuses, and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
