About This Position

Company: The Health Collaborative
Hosted By: TAP Health Summery Academy. Please note: The Health Collaborative is a partner of Career ConneXions, so this opportunity requires you apply directly through the link below, as noted below; Registering in the Student Portal simply provides a record to Mrs. Rhoades of your interest.
Focus: Healthcare
Dates: Jun 8 M-F, then T/H for roughly 3.5 hours for an assigned week between 6/14 and 7/5, then all remaining weeks have offerings that are optional, noting 6/28-7/4 there is nothing offered.
Student Experience: TAP Health is The Health Collaborative’s signature career-pipeline initiative for class of '28 & '27 high school students who are at least 15-years-old as of Jun 2026 and live in the greater Cincinnati/Southwest OH region (including Northern KY and Southeast IN). Their mission is to help build the next generation of healthcare professionals by connecting students directly with employers, educators, and training programs across our region. TAP Health Summer Academy (THSA) is a central part of that mission—providing a summer-long series of immersive programs designed to help students discover where their interests and strengths might lead them in healthcare. Students who complete TAP Health Summer Academy will:
    Explore careers in medicine, nursing, and allied health Visit hospitals and healthcare facilities to see real-world clinical environments Tour college healthcare programs and simulation centers Participate in College, Career, Workforce, and Military Readiness (CCWMR)–aligned experiences Earn Basic Life Support (BLS) Training & Certification — including high-quality CPR, AED use, and team-based emergency response Earn Stop the Bleed Certification, learning how to respond to life-threatening bleeding with pressure, packing, and tourniquets Have the option to join a Healthcare Hack-a-Thon, collaborating with other THSA students to tackle real healthcare challenges Practice introductory hands-on medical skills Learn the basics of HIPAA and patient confidentiality Connect with a near-peer mentoring network of current college students in healthcare programs Join a growing community of 900+ TAP Health alumni
What truly sets THSA apart is the breadth of exposure students receive. Instead of visiting a single site or program, participants engage with multiple hospitals, colleges, and healthcare organizations—often experiencing a new location and a new healthcare focus each day. This “all-access” model gives students a deeper, more authentic look at the diverse world of healthcare and helps them imagine the future they could create within it. 100 students will be accepted into this program.

Application & Program Fee Information: Apply through the link below by 3/18/26 11:59PM ET. Students will be notified on 3/31 if they have been accepted into the program and students must accept or decline to join by 4/30. The cost of the program is $300. The Health Collaborative is a non-profit organization and we’re happy to offer our programming as a benefit to the current and future medical community. There is no fee to apply for THSA, but if accepted, students pay the program fee to help cover program costs. We never want cost to stand in the way so financial waivers are available to any student who needs one, and requesting a waiver does not affect your application in any way.
