About Us
Our Initiative
Teen Health Journals is a unique initiative designed to engage teenagers with the dynamic world of medical professions. Our program provides young individuals with the opportunity to explore and write about various careers in healthcare, from doctors and nurses to researchers and public health experts. Through thoughtful interviews and in-depth articles, teens gain firsthand insights into the daily realities and impact of these professions. By facilitating direct interactions with seasoned health professionals, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the medical field, inspire future careers in healthcare, and encourage informed decision-making among the next generation. At Teen Health Journals, we are committed to nurturing curiosity and passion in young minds, helping them envision their potential roles in shaping the future of medicine.
Our Story
At Teen Health Journals, our goal is to provide teenagers with a well-rounded understanding of medical professions before they embark on their college journeys. As a team—Emma, Ariyah, and Maya—we are dedicated to exploring and highlighting the diverse career paths within healthcare. Through a series of in-depth interviews with experienced professionals and thoughtfully crafted articles, we aim to shed light on the various roles and responsibilities in the medical field. Our mission is to equip our peers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their future careers in medicine. By sharing these valuable insights, we hope to inspire and guide young individuals as they consider their professional aspirations and navigate their academic choices.
