Future Healthcare Professionals


Future Healthcare Professionals (FHP) is a free program that introduces high school students to the healthcare field. Programs take place in the evening at local area hospitals, community centers, libraries, and schools. Throughout the program, students are introduced to a variety of health careers through the study of anatomy and physiology, hands on activities, service projects, guest speakers, and field trips. Past activities include: CPR/first aid certification, suturing lessons, solving a medical forensics case, learning to intubate, and measuring vitals. Participants have also taken field trips to healthcare facilities and cadaver labs. 

There is no cost to participate in FHP. South Central KY AHEC provides all materials needed. In addition, students get to keep many of their supplies to continue practicing their skills. 

There are multiple options for FHP delivery: as an evening after school program, as day camp during school breaks, incorporated within the school day as a club or within health science classes.
