CHI Saint Joseph Health and the More in Common Alliance are partnering with the Morehouse School of Medicine and Kentucky State University to offer a summer program focused on STEM and health careers to middle school, high school and college students in the state of Kentucky. The More in Common STEM and Health Careers Summer Academy will be offered July 28-August 1 at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Ky.
The Academy is a weeklong residential camp that will focus on academic enrichment and career/skill development focused on health care fields. For younger students, the academy will offer an introduction to research and careers in health care.
CommonSpirit Health and the Morehouse School of Medicine developed the More in Common Alliance to address the underlying causes of health inequities, including the lack of representation among care providers. That partnership inspired this academy, which is similar to opportunities offered by Morehouse School of Medicine at its Atlanta campus. CHI Saint Joseph Health is the Kentucky market for CommonSpirit Health.
Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question(s). You can reach us by emailing info@moreincommonalliance.org.
The More in Common STEM and Health Careers Academy will take place from July 28 - August 1, 2025. Since the students will be staying on campus, we will have 24-hour support for their care and safety.
Academy participants will participate in a variety of activities, including clinical shadowing, medical charting, a "pressure cooker" mini course featuring First Aid, Paramedic Techniques, Stop the Bleed, and more! Check back regularly to learn about any new experiences added to the academy.

Academy participants will stay on the campus of Kentucky State University in Frankfort, KY. They will be in the newest residence hall with state-of-the-art facilities. Academy counselors will also reside with participants to ensure their safety and compliance with academy rules.

Due to the generosity of our sponsors, there is no cost for participating. However, we do ask that, once a commitment to participate is made, it is kept.
