Greetings! 

We are excited to open applications for our summer Destination Health Careers Program. Rising 9th - 12th-grade students for the 2025-2026 school year can apply for this summer program.

This exciting opportunity will expose students to a variety of associate degree healthcare careers available to them at Pitt Community College, including Respiratory Therapy, Polysomnography (sleep lab), Medical Assisting,  Medical Sonography, Radiographic Technology, Emergency Medical Services, Dental Assisting, Nursing, and Occupational Therapy Assisting. Participants will engage in three days of hands-on education. The first two days will be in high-tech laboratory settings with the staff at Pitt Community College. On the third day, students will explore departments at ECU Health.
