We're offering two sessions of our population Health & Medicine Institute this summer. Thanks to our partnerships with Northern & Southern Vermont Area Health Education Centers, we're able to serve more students 👏🏽

Through hands-on activities, scenario-based learning, and interactive case discussions, students explore a career in the healthcare sector and earn CPR, First Aid, and Vermont Emergency First Responder (VEFR) certifications.

Northern Session is July 7th - 13th at VTSU Lyndon
