Earn and Learn Program
East Alabama Health’s Earn and Learn Program provides a unique opportunity for local high school students to interact and work in a professional, clinical setting and explore potential pathways.
The program offers students temporary paid positions in a variety of departments throughout the organization. Participants in the program work approximately 20 hours per week and receive specialized, on-the-job training while still in school. Earn and Learn participation may also count for school credit depending upon a student’s situation.
Students can participate in the program at EAMC, EAMC-Lanier, the East Alabama Medical Center Freestanding Emergency Department, EAMC Physician Practices or RehabWorks in Opelika.
