To qualify, you will need to complete several online training sessions offered before the in-person Institute. The dates and times for these requirements are shown in the information sheet attached. To learn more about this credential, we also made this short video to help you decide if certification is for you.

No matter which option you choose, CPR/AED and Stop-the-Bleed certifications are available to everyone. There are also a variety of health exploration workshops for you to choose from during the Institute. Please fill out this form to tell us what you’re interested in, and we will personalize your schedule.

In the coming weeks:

• If you have any general questions, please contact [email protected] and we’ll get right back to you.
• You can also contact Nicole LaPointe, Program Director with specific questions or concerns at 802-748-2506, or email her: [email protected].
• Near the end of May, you will receive a packet of forms and important information in the mail. Please watch for this packet and respond as soon as you can.

In the meantime, keep your eyes on your mailbox for a fun H&M postcard and we will be back in touch via email as we get closer to the Institute!

HERO PROGRAM

After your experience with GIV, we hope you continue to make use of the incredible opportunities presented by AHEC, especially the 2023-2024 HERO Program.

Click here to learn more about the HERO program.

HERO stands for Health Exploration Resources and Opportunities, and is a no-cost, four-month, 1-to-1 online mentoring program that pairs high school students with volunteer medical students trained in mentoring and STEM education. Students in the HERO Mentoring Program engage with their mentors in ten enrichment modules: one focused on health career exploration, one focused on goal setting, and eight modules focused on human biology and health science. These sessions are scheduled once per week, at a time that works best for the student and mentor, from October to January.

This year, the program is open to all 9th through 12th graders residing in Caledonia, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orleans, Orange, Washington, and Chittenden Counties. HERO applications open in August 2023. Application for the HERO Mentoring program is competitive, and based on participants’ demonstrated interest in health and medicine and commitment to the full duration of the program. There are no academic prerequisites, and no prior knowledge or experience is required.

Thanks, see you all this summer!
