The San Carlos Apache Healthcare Corporation (SCAHC) Human Resources Department has consistently organized a 6 weeklong summer youth program yearly since 2019 that is designed to motivate young adults from the San Carlos Apache Tribe, aged 16 to 22, to pursue healthcare careers and provide valuable hospital wide clinical exposure and professional development. Since 2023 FLIP has provided additional support of this community-based San Carlos Apache Tribal initiative with curricular assistance, professional development activities, and monitoring and evaluation to augment this important program. Students are provided with valuable career shadowing opportunities and are placed within the hospital based on their specific interests such as clinical care areas, the security department, information technology, or administrative departments.
