The Institute for Community Partnerships offers high school students a pipeline program for those interested in a health professions career.
If pipeline programs like ours from the Institute of Community Partnerships can help encourage and prepare students to graduate from high school and attend college, they will be more likely to go on to pursue a career in the health sciences and more likely to return to their own communities to serve. Many of our pipeline and community programs are run by our Community-Academic Partners in Service (CAPS) office.
About the Discovery Program
The Discovery (formerly Summer Gateway) Program is a two-week summer program that includes speakers and activities, with an optional third week where interested students can shadow health professionals in the workplace. The program provides training in how to take the SAT, apply for financial aid, and improve study skills so students understand a college education is attainable. Speakers from all the health sciences schools at Loma Linda University offer instruction and hands-on activities for students to learn more about different health sciences career opportunities.
At LLU our motto is To Make Man Whole, so our Discovery program not only offers academic and career guidance, but also includes spiritual activities, physical activity, healthy meals, and team building activities to address the needs of the whole person.
We invite you to learn more about our Discovery Program and explore the many benefits it offers.
