Explorehealthcareers.org is a free, online health careers resource for students and advisors. This Website is a non-profit, collaborative initiative involving national foundations, professional associations, health career advisors, educational institutions, and college students.</p>

<p>Our mission is to help solve two urgent problems in American health care: the under-representation of minorities in the workforce, and the lack of health professionals in medically underserved communities. We hope to address these problems by helping more of today's students become the health professionals of tomorrow.</p>

<p>ExploreHealthCareers.org gives students a free, reliable, and comprehensive source of accurate, up-to-date information about the health professions. This includes information on and links to health-related education/training programs, financial aid resources, specialized learning opportunities, and current issues in health care.
