The world of health care has evolved well beyond the traditional image of physicians, nurses, and hospitals. The issues of how health care is managed, where it takes place, and who delivers it are contributing to an explosion of information and career opportunities. Increasingly, the field demands highly skilled, knowledgeable practitioners who can work collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams, who are well versed in the economic, cultural, and personal implications for patients, and who understand the needs of rural, urban, and undeserved regions. The Pennsylvania Governor's School for Health Care introduces students to the health care field, emphasizing delivery systems, primary care, prevention, public health, healthy communities, and career options.
