High School Health Care Preceptor Pilot

The Ohio Department of Education, in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Health, is offering funding to nonprofit health care organizations through a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grant titled National Initiative to address COVID-19 Health Disparities Among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations and Rural Communities.

The High School Health Care Preceptor Pilot will provide paid internships in health care fields to high school students. These internships will provide mentors in the health care industry and create a career pathway for students to obtain CPR certification and industry-recognized credentials, as well as prepare students for health care education at the postsecondary level. The $475,000 in grant funding will be awarded to multiple entities to fund in-demand internship opportunities for high-risk, underserved ethnic minority and rural high school students in identified targeted districts.
