College Prep Tools and Sources for Students Pursuing Healthcare Careers

When your middle or high schooler chooses to study healthcare, they’re setting out to make a difference in the world. By making a goal to study healthcare at an Ivy League, they’re learning about the field with the latest information from the highest-caliber professionals in the field.

If health and community are important to your student, Zenith Prep Academy invites you to enroll in our healthcare college prep program. Our personalized program will empower them to take on the most rigorous applications and prepare them for the future they deserve.

The Importance of Healthcare Education and Resources

Recent years have shown us how fragile the healthcare system can be and how necessary it is to have committed doctors, nurses and other medical professionals ready to help, no matter what. At Zenith Prep Academy, we aim to nurture that passion in your child with tools and resources that get them involved and strengthen their future college applications.

Preparing for a Healthcare Degree — A Comprehensive Guide

Our college prep for health professions involves a custom, one-on-one program between your student and one of our mentors. Together, they’ll gain a better understanding of your child’s goals for higher education and beyond. From there, we can work with them to create a balanced application profile that appeals to the most selective universities. This preparation will involve:

Targeted Learning Resources

As one of the oldest professions in the world, the internet is full of study guides, reading materials and visual aids made for people at every stage in their healthcare career. Your student can get a jump-start on those anatomy and biology courses by familiarizing themselves with the materials before they enter the classroom. But navigating all of these resources can be tricky. Where do you start? Zenith counselors can guide your student on where to start expanding their learning outside of normal high school classes. 

Volunteering

One of the best ways to determine if this is the right path for your child is by volunteering in the medical field. In order for that volunteer experience to be more hands-on, your student might need to get certified in CPR, Emergency Medical Response, or some other area. Hospital volunteering is great, but those opportunities are often age-gated such that only students who are 16 or older can do them. Zenith counselors help students understand how to put yourself in a position to get good hands-on experience.

Research

One way to prepare yourself for more advanced internships and hands-on medical experiences is to get started with medical research. Students without prior research experience most likely won’t be able to get meaningful lab internships, so the best place to start will be taking on a research project that the student can do without access to a lab. Zenith counselors can help students find the research programs that can get them started on the path to building a research portfolio.

Beyond Academics — Experience The Zenith Prep Advantage

During your child’s time with Zenith Prep Academy, they’ll be exposed to a variety of healthcare resources and tools they can use to advance their goals. We focus on helping them craft an appealing application and present it to top colleges and universities. Along the way, we’ll also give your student countless networking opportunities with current healthcare professionals and academic experts from Ivy League and Top 50 Universities.
