Career choices are made early in life and high school students are faced with many questions when it comes to choosing the career path they wish to pursue in  the future.

At Jiahui Health, we believe that getting a first-hand experience in the field of interest is the best way to enable students to make informed decisions about their future study and career path.

For students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, Jiahui Health offers the exclusive opportunity to complete a 2-week Health Scholar Program at Jiahui International Hospital. Working alongside and shadowing our team of international healthcare professionals, students will be able to experience different departments within a healthcare institution and gain an understanding of how they interact in order to deliver excellent patient care.

Why join the Health Scholar program?

• Many medical, nursing and other health-related college programs prefer or require clinical experience, giving a distinct advantage to applicants who have participated in hands-on programs.
• The Health Scholar Program allows students to shadow Jiahui Health professionals and experience how the clinical and administrative teams work together to deliver first-class care to patients.

• This program will help students to get a first-hand impression of what working in the medical field is like and will support them in their decision-making process about the career path they wish to take.
• Lunch sessions with senior clinical staff (e.g. Chief of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Chief Anesthesiologist, Deputy CMO, Nursing Director etc.) to get insights into their work and obtain first-hand career advice

• Practical, hands-on workshops to acquire basic medical skills
• The student from each program round with the highest rating from physician leaders, will receive a letter of recommendation for their college application from a US board certified physician.
