A Study for the State of New Mexico to Develop an Experimental Program Creating Interest in Health Careers Among Senior High School Students

Abstract

The problem was to develop a program which would encourage senior high-school students to enter a health career. Data was gathered through personal interviews, review of the literature, and a study of eight existing state health careers programs. The methods selected for conducting a health careers program in New Mexico were based upon that data. The conclusion of the study was that a combination of a centralized and decentralized health careers program was best for New Mexico. A plan was developed for a proposed eighteen-month experimental health careers program in New Mexico. The plan included the following four phases: (1) Preparation and Introduction; (2) Student Awareness Activities; (3) Operational Program; and (4) Evaluation.
