The inaugural program recently yielded 31 graduates from the Antelope Valley Union High School District (AVUHSD), the company announced in a news release.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKaiser Permanente is proud to be a host for the Medical Exploring Program,\u201d stated Kaiser Permanente Antelope Valley Community Benefit Manager Amy Wiese. \u201cWith this program, we want to inspire the next generation of medical professionals who will serve the communities they grew up in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaiser\u2019s local physicians and employees volunteered their time to provide real-world career experiences for the Explorers — young men and women who are at least 14 years old and have completed 8th grade, but are not yet 21 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a youth-led program, students organized monthly meetings, including hands-on learning presentations, a tour of the Kaiser Permanente Antelope Valley Medical Offices, community service projects, and a final educational field trip to the California Science Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the graduation ceremony last week, local Kaiser Permanente, AVUHSD, and community leaders were in attendance to extend their congratulations. The graduates shared their experiences and showed a special video presentation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kaiser Permanente Antelope Valley is currently accepting applications for its next Medical Exploring Post, which will be held during the 2017-2018 school year. Applications can be downloaded at kp.org\/antelopevalley. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Medical Exploring Post 661 is one of Kaiser\u2019s many local youth workforce development programs, which include Hippocrates Circle for middle school students and a Volunteer Program for high school students and beyond. <\/span><\/p>\n
