Embedded in our mission is our dedication to inspiring young students to consider a career in health care. Explore our dedicated space for future health professions students, where we’ve curated resources and programs to support your journey into the healthcare industry. Many thanks to the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health and Idaho State University for helping to sponsor our pathway programs!
Doctor for a Day encourages high school students, especially those from rural or underrepresented backgrounds, to consider a healthcare career. Through presentations by medical professionals and hands-on experiences like using medical equipment and practicing CPR, students gain insight into the field and are inspired to pursue this rewarding path.

Our long-term goal is to offer more K-12 health career exploration opportunities, but our federal funding allows us to dedicate only10% of our base grant budget toward pre-college projects. SW ID AHEC is always open to exploring potential partnerships to enable expansion of our outreach to youth. We offer coordination, budget management, project oversight, promotion, evaluation, and more. Please contact Director, Katrina Hoff if interested.
