We are proud to honor the legacy of Ethel Lund through the Village Health Occupations Program (VHOP). The VHOP program returned this past July following a hiatus resulting from the COVID pandemic. VHOP is a week-long program held at the Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center (MEMC) campus in Sitka for rising high school juniors and seniors interested in pursuing careers in healthcare. Healthcare makes up one of the largest economic sectors in Alaska, accounting for 12 percent of the state’s total workforce. Unfortunately, Alaska Natives make up a very small portion of this percentage – just 1 percent of all medical students and just 0.5 percent of nursing students. The SEARHC VHOP program is designed to help increase the number of Alaska Native and American Indian students pursuing health careers in Southeast Alaska. This year’s cohort of students hailing from Anchorage, Juneau and Sitka spent their week job shadowing across SEARHC departments at MEMC. In addition to the skills labs with hands-on experiences, VHOP students received training and certifications in Bloodborne Pathogens and First Aid. Each lunch period, SEARHC invited local Elders to join the students and share cultural knowledge and life lessons. In the evening, the students spent invaluable time with Pauline Duncan, an Elder from the Sitka Tribes of Alaska, who taught them traditional Tlingit practices such as the process of breaking down and drying fish in a smokehouse. The students have career aspirations in surgical rotations, nursing, physical rehabilitation and veterinary services. SEARHC is proud to support these students as they continue to walk down these new and innovative pathways of learning. Do you know of or are you a junior or senior student interested in exploring a healthcare-related career? Let us know in the comments and we’ll DM you how to get on our contact list for the 2025 program.
