Pathways for All to Health Careers (PATH-C)

About the Program

PATH-C was established by the Rodham Institute in collaboration with a number of community partners, ranging from those specializing in education to those focusing on career services. The Consortium, which is modeled on the Alameda County Health Pipeline Partnership (ACHPP), aims to increase the number of under-represented minorities in the healthcare workforce at all levels, with a specific, but not exclusive, emphasis on middle school-aged black males.

To effectively build the healthcare workforce pipeline, PATH-C members recognize the need to establish a centralized mechanism where academic, government, community and health-focused stakeholders are able to share resources. This “one-stop shop” will allow individuals of any age the opportunity to learn about healthcare training programs in Washington, DC.

While centralized information sharing is the primary objective, the Consortium will also focus on:

Guidance Counselor Training

STEM-H Career Exposure

Health Cultural Competencies

Community Service-Learning

Parent/Family Engagement

Mentorship
