Durham Public Schools students will soon have a new way to fast-track careers in health care. A newly established early college program is set to launch, offering students an accelerated path to enter the health care field. This initiative aims to equip local youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the growing demand for health professionals in the region.
The program will provide students with a unique blend of high school education and college-level courses, focusing on various aspects of health care, including nursing, medical assisting, and health administration.
