The CoVID-19 pandemic amplified the stress of existing critical shortages of allied health professionals, especially in rural communities and underserved populations. Careers including clinical laboratory sciences (CLS) and public health information technology (PHIT) are less well promoted as other health professions in K-12 schools, increasing the struggle for professional programs to recruit undergraduate students. Critical needs exist for novel educational programs and training methods that promote and increase interest amongst high students about CLS and PHIT fields. The High School 2 Health Care (HS2HC) program is comprised of a summer program and a dual enrollment course that educates high school students and their teachers about careers in CLS and PHIT, while guiding them in developing hands-on skills that give them the opportunity to experience what these careers would entail. HS2HC aligns with the NIH Research Education Program goal of increasing the number of qualified, trained health professionals to meet the nation’s needs. Our program targets rural communities in West Tennessee where professional health care shortages have been exceptionally damaging and seeks to enhance opportunities in CLS and PHIT for underserved student populations. We will use novel outcomes-based educational approaches that apply project-based learning strategies to real-world social determinants of health scenarios and work-based simulation strategies with real clinical data and samples. A teacher professional development program focused on integration of NGSS and CLS and PHIT content, along with career awareness will also be implemented. A quasi-experimental mixed methods design will be used to assess awareness and knowledge and skills development in CLS and PHIT focus groups, quantitative content analysis from a dual enrollment course and a summer program, and teacher and student interviews will be used to assess effectiveness of the outcomes-based curricular design approach we use to teach interdisciplinary PHIT and CLS content, understand how rural high school students acquire knowledge regarding PHIT and CLS professions using our learning approach, and whether our approach increases student interest and the number of students choosing Career and Technical Education (CTE) and undergraduate pathways in these careers. Our unique population compositions in Lauderdale and McNairy Counties in West Tennessee will provide insight into the impact of cultural and social differences in learning acquisition for CLS and PHIT concepts, thereby allowing us to uniquely tailor our experiences to different community and cultural settings. Through high school and community partnerships, online, and mobile resources we will disseminate educational curricula, materials, and research outcomes to enhance community health-based literacy. We will encourage the addition of our program into the NGSS and CTE standards for Tennessee by communication with educators and policy makers.

CoVID-19 大流行加剧了现有专职医疗专业人员严重短缺的压力， 特别是在农村社区和服务水平低下的人群，包括临床实验室科学。 (CLS) 和公共卫生信息技术 (PHIT) 的推广不如其他卫生专业 K-12 学校，增加专业项目招收本科生的难度。 需要新颖的教育计划和培训方法来促进和提高人们的兴趣 高中 2 医疗保健 (HS2HC) 计划由以下部分组成。 暑期项目和双重注册课程，向高中生及其老师提供有关 CLS 和 PHIT 的职业生涯，同时指导他们发展实践技能，使他们有机会 体验这些职业将带来什么，这与 NIH 研究教育计划的目标是一致的。 增加合格、训练有素的卫生专业人员的数量，以满足国家的需求。 针对田纳西州西部的农村社区，那里专业医疗保健一直短缺 极具破坏性，旨在为服务不足的学生增加 CLS 和 PHIT 的机会 我们将采用新颖的基于结果的教育方法，应用基于项目的学习。 健康情景的现实社会决定因素的策略和基于工作的模拟策略 真实的临床数据和样本。专注于 NGSS 整合的教师专业发展计划。 CLS 和 PHIT 内容以及职业意识也将实施准实验性。 混合方法设计将用于评估 CLS 的意识、知识和技能发展， PHIT 焦点小组、双重注册课程和暑期项目的定量内容分析，以及 教师和学生访谈将用于评估基于结果的课程设计的有效性 我们用来教授跨学科 PHIT 和 CLS 内容的方法，了解农村高中生如何 使用我们的学习方法获取有关 PHIT 和 CLS 专业的知识，以及我们是否 这种方法提高了学生的兴趣以及选择职业和技术教育的学生数量 （CTE）和这些职业的本科途径。我们在劳德代尔堡和劳德代尔堡的独特人口构成。 田纳西州西部的麦克奈里县将深入了解文化和社会差异的影响 学习 CLS 和 PHIT 概念，从而使我们能够独特地定制我们的经验 通过高中和社区合作、在线和不同的社区和文化环境。 移动资源 我们将传播教育课程、材料和研究成果，以增强 我们将鼓励将我们的计划添加到 NGSS 和 CTE 中。 通过与教育工作者和政策制定者的沟通，制定田纳西州的标准。
