Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools is redesigning its comprehensive high schools around the Career Academy model in which students and teaching teams form focused learning communities. Meharry Medical College is partnering with the Health Career Academies to increase the number and diversity of students progressing along the health workforce pipeline.
Activities support integrating health throughout the curriculum and linking classroom activities to real-world applications via professional development for interdisciplinary teaching teams, student produced health media content, student-led health outreach, and case-based learning activities.
