Description

Every summer for over a decade, the UCEDD at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR has been providing opportunities for high school and early college students with and without disabilities to learn about career opportunities in the health and disability fields and build new skills. This presentation will discuss our experience reinvigorating the program and our methods for developing outcomes and measures for this unique educational program.
