Our Speakers Bureau links professionals representing diverse health careers – from nursing and medicine, to public health and psychology – to career seekers to inform, motivate, and empower them to pursue attainable health career goals.

Through partnerships with Health & Medicine’s Chicago Schweitzer Fellows for Life program and other networks, Chicago AHEC provides professional mentorship to underrepresented students who are enrolled in health career programs across the Chicagoland area. In 2020, we provided health professionals as career speakers to 618 Chicago Public School students.

Our Speakers Bureau is available to speak to and mentor students in community-based settings – at Chicago Public Schools, local colleges or wellness fairs – about health disparities, health topics, health promotion, and service learning. They will meaningfully engage students, facilitate mentorship, and nurture interest in their health field.
