When Durham Early College of Health Sciences launched last fall, the students showed up – and stayed. As it wrapped up its first year this spring, nearly all students had plans to return for the next school year.
A collaboration between Duke Health, Durham Public Schools, and Durham Technical Community College, the Early College prepares high school students for healthcare and clinical research careers through an innovative curriculum and hands-on learning experiences. This pathway is the first of its kind to provide entry directly from high school into the clinical research workforce.
