SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S REGIONAL ALLIED HEALTH AND SCIENCE INITIATIVE (RAHSI)
Established 2006
  RAHSI is a collaborative effort to improve students' success in healthcare careers.
The project is supported by the Governor of California's Career-Technical Education (CTE) Initiative and the
Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District.


 

WHAT WE DO

The Regional Allied Health and Science Initiative (RAHSI) supports the building and implementation of high school Health Career Pathway programs in San Diego County, with a focus on:

  • Curricula
  • Industry partnerships
  • Teacher externships and professional development
  • Countywide collaboration among high school and college students, teachers, counselors, and administrators

RAHSI is intended for students of all academic levels and backgrounds.

 

OUR GOALS

  • Increase middle and high school students’ awareness of health career opportunities
  • Improve performance in high school and college science courses
  • Improve transition and retention rates in college programs

RAHSI was founded because:

  • Without the critical element of succeeding in college science coursework, a student will be limited to entry-level healthcare careers and cannot proceed to higher career ladders
  • A single course or activity is not enough to ensure success in “gatekeeper” college science coursework
