HealthLink, offered by the University of California San Francisco, is a free year-long program designed to foster diversity in the health professions. It is specifically targeted at first-generation college-bound high school students from the Bay Area, with a preference for sophomores. The program is aimed at connecting these students with mentors from UCSF's five health professional schools: Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Medicine. The program's curriculum focuses on exploring the human body and its intersection with health professions through hands-on workshops. It also includes one-on-one mentorship sessions and career-focused workshops to guide students in visualizing their journey from high school to college and subsequently to graduate school. Mentors serve as long-term resources to assist students in navigating their high school experience, ensuring their success in academics and extracurricular activities. HealthLink is in-person, with its sessions scheduled monthly on specified Saturdays. The program's leadership comprises Thang Diep, Will Li, and Timothy Keeley, who serve as UCSF Co-Coordinators. To be eligible, students must be first-generation college-bound high school students from the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly disadvantaged or from an underrepresented community, and referred from one of the partner organizations or a high school teacher. Upon completion of the HealthLink program, students will gain a broader understanding of the health professions and receive guidance and resources to successfully navigate their academic journey towards these professions. Despite the absence of specific certifications, the program's mentorship and hands-on workshops offer students a unique opportunity to gain insights into the health professions and establish valuable connections in the field.
