Every summer the Consortium for Latino Health in Philadelphia sponsors science and math programs for Latino high school students. Developed with the cooperation of Consortium members Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Allegheny University Hospitals, Hahnemann, both programs address the severe under representation of Latinos in health careers and science-oriented programs. Rising tenth grade students take courses in chemistry, geometry and Latino literature at Allegheny University Hospitals, Hahnemann and visit local academic and medical universities. Rising eleventh grade students continue their summer experience at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where they study physics, algebra, SAT preparation and Latino literature. In addition to academic course work, these returning students volunteer one day a week with various health professionals at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to learn about possible career choices. Students in both programs participate in weekly seminars with healthcare professionals who discuss their career experiences. The Consortium is currently preparing for the 1998 summer programs at both hospitals. If you have any questions regarding the Consortium's-summer programs, please contact Alexa Knapp aknapp@dvhc.org or 215-735-3891.
