Pima Joint Technical Education District (JTED) is creating new pathways and opportunities to help students in Tucson’s underserved communities to obtain academic and professional careers. A large part of this initiative includes working with partners across the region to establish the area’s first high school focused on health and medical careers. The innovative school, with the working name of Health and Medical Careers High School, will serve grades 9-12 and be easily accessible to students at its south Tucson location on the Pima JTED campus at The Bridges complex. Currently daytime and evening student enrollment for many programs and grade levels is at capacity at JTED’s new Innovative Learning Center. The school’s proximity to partners such as the University of Arizona and Pima Community College will provide robust educational exchanges and experiential rotations so that students may enter a seamless pipeline to reach the next steps in their academic and technical training journeys and to open their eyes to career paths they may have never otherwise considered. A wing that will house a community health and wellness clinic will offer an opportunity for students to provide services to the public in partnership with the University Medical School undergrads and grads. Career and Technical Education Programs to be offered include Certified Medical Assistant, Licensed Nursing Assistant, Physical Therapy Tech, Pharmacy Tech, fast-track LPN, etc. Students will be able to obtain industry credentials and certifications for direct employment, as well as work toward being accepted to medical school.
