The Health Career Ladder is an umbrella that encompasses the Pomona Health Career Ladder, American Indian Health Career Ladder, and Lebanon Health Career Ladder. Our collaborative has created a network and pathways to assist parents and students in becoming physicians, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, physician assistants and a range of other health professionals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1575390506246{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]This collaborative mounts multiple elements of programming, including monthly Academies running six simultaneous classrooms, with an average of 400 participants.\u00a0\u00a0 The cornerstone of this effort has been Parent Plenary sessions, focusing on health and wellness, well as providing a roadmap for parents to help their children to become college graduates and health professionals.\u00a0 Simultaneous Spanish translation and childcare has always been offered to allow parents to fully participate and feel comfortable with the opportunities for health and education offered in their community.\u00a0 Over 45% of our parents regularly opt to use the translation and this has become a conduit for spirited engagement. While parents are in their dedicated session, students engage in hands-on learning about science and health professions to build their skills and interest.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1593627467005{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-right: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;padding-top: 40% !important;padding-bottom: 40% !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/ladder.westernu.edu\/american-indian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/06\/hcl-image11.jpg?id=3762) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1593734844174{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-right: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;padding-top: 40% !important;padding-bottom: 40% !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/ladder.westernu.edu\/american-indian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/01\/GetImage-6.jpeg?id=2636) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1575390506246{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Over 100 WesternU students from all professions and walks of life share their life experience, expertise and stories with students and parents.\u00a0 Future health care professionals, in turn,\u00a0 learn from the Native community to improve their patient communication and cultural sensitivity. These WesternU student stories share their personal struggles to overcome economic, language and cultural barriers, stories which visibly inspire and motivate parents.\u00a0 HCL is one component of a WesternU integrated multi-tiered pipeline effort to connect local pre-K \u2013 12 and undergraduate students with resources, including STEM education, standardized test preparation, intensive college level programing and early admissions programs with local institutions, the latter including all the CSU campuses in southern California.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
