New Visions Health & Medical Sciences is an academically
rigorous professional studies program for college-bound
high school seniors who are interested in careers such as
medicine (including physician and physician assistant), nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medical technology, physical therapy, nutrition/dietetics, and medical research.

​Clinical experience is the core of the program.
Students are immersed in the medical field through a
combination of classroom learning and clinical rotations
(internships) in departments at Cayuga Medical Center
and medical practices and health agencies in the
community. Through daily involvement with medical
staff, students learn what is required of health care
professionals and understand how their education
correlates to real-life situations on the job. Students get
first-hand experience with the professional demands
of a busy medical environment and see how working
together as a team can provide quality patient care.

New Visions students assist with patient care, learn about laboratory and diagnostic procedures, and work alongside medical and support professionals in virtually every health and medical specialty during the course of the year.

​New Visions students usually take one or two morning
classes at their high schools. Then, they head to Cayuga
Medical Center for New Visions from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
When their work at the hospital is complete, most
students return to their high schools for academics,
athletics, and other extracurricular activities.
