As you may know, the need for healthcare professionals in our region is significant, and supporting students who are interested in this field is more important than ever.

MAHEC’s Passport Program is available to students in grades 8–12. This program provides a wide range of meaningful experiences for students exploring healthcare careers, including field trips, simulation labs, and various professional development activities. The program is completely free, and students apply with parent consent and a teacher recommendation.

Events are offered throughout the year on both weekdays and weekends, giving students flexible opportunities to engage.
