We’re excited to announce that two inspiring alumni of our Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP), Rachel Chen and Sheila Teker, will serve as this year’s program coordinators!
Both Rachel and Sheila bring deep curiosity, compassion, and leadership to their roles—and they know firsthand what it’s like to walk in the shoes of HIP students.  If you or a student you know is thinking about a career in healthcare, now is the time to take the next step. Jackson Orthopedic Foundation’s Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) is accepting applications for our 2025 session, running from July 7 to August 1.
This four-week program is designed to give students real-world clinical experience by shadowing healthcare Bay Area professionals across multiple specialties. From surgery observation to direct patient care, HIP provides an inside look at what it means to work in healthcare.  Our 7th Annual Canes Gala is this Sunday, December 8! Here's our official press release, which includes mentions of our wonderful sponsors. Hope you can make it -- tickets are still available!

Hey there, healthcare heroes!
Are you seeing a lot of patients with muscle, bone and joint conditions, but not sure about your exam skills, or what treatments you can confidently offer? Have you been referring patients to ortho specialists but have the feeling you could probably treat them in the clinic with the right skills? Not to worry, as fellow clinicians we understand and we're here to help. We've developed our nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) CE curriculum specifically to help you, your patients and your practice.  Our annual Healthcare Immersion Program wouldn't be possible without the support of our preceptors -- our wonderful Bay Area healthcare providers who generously offer their guidance and wisdom to our students exploring future health career options.
 Hey there, healthcare heroes! 😊
