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
RAHSIis
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
RAHSIwas
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
