Medical Careers Magnet

The Medical Magnet program serves as an experiential exploration of the diverse opportunities within the healthcare field. Through our partnerships with Northridge Hospital Medical Center and Valley Presbyterian Hospital, students attend seminars and participate in job shadowing at the hospitals while developing charity and compassion as they deal with patients and staff during their hospital experiences. Students are imminently prepared for university programs as they enter the medical and/or healthcare fields. They have a comprehensive understanding of the diverse medical professions that await, and the compassion and heart necessary to provide exceptional healthcare in their chosen careers.
