Health Education Clinics
Deliver practical, professional-led health education that improves student and family health while introducing healthcare careers.

Students participate in recurring clinics led by healthcare professionals, public health leaders, medical students, and trained volunteers. Clinics focus on practical topics such as hygiene, nutrition, illness prevention, mental health, basic first aid, vital signs, and healthcare careers. Each session combines instruction, activities, demonstrations, student questions, and simple follow-up assignments.

Academic Support
Help students strengthen their academic performance and remain on track for healthcare education and training.

The Medical Team works with partner schools to help students improve academically and remain on track for future education. The program is developing tutoring opportunities, scholarship criteria, academic tracking systems, and partnerships between Ghanaian students and volunteer tutors. Priority subjects will be selected with guidance from participating schools.

Application Guidance
Give students clear, step-by-step support as they prepare for healthcare programs and applications.

Students interested in healthcare careers need clear information about the path ahead. The program helps students understand healthcare training options, academic expectations, application materials, interviews, recommendations, deadlines, and other preparation requirements. Guidance will be presented in a simple format that students and schools can continue to use.

Mentorship
Connect students with medical students and healthcare professionals who can provide encouragement, guidance, and realistic career insight.

Mentorship connects students with medical students and healthcare professionals who can answer questions, encourage strong study habits, and provide a realistic view of healthcare education and service. Mentorship relationships will follow clear communication standards, appropriate boundaries, and ongoing program oversight.

Healthcare Exposure
Give students safe, supervised opportunities to explore healthcare settings, professional roles, and basic clinical skills.

Healthcare exposure allows students to see how different professionals serve patients and communities. Activities may include career presentations, clinical demonstrations, hospital or clinic observation, medical attachments, basic skills instruction, and future supervised internships. Experiences will prioritize student safety, professionalism, patient privacy, and meaningful learning.

Learning, Improving, and Remaining Accountable

GMF will use simple, consistent measurements to understand whether students are attending, participating, and benefiting from the program. Attendance records will show whether clinics and support activities are reaching students consistently, while participation notes and short reflections will help the Medical Team understand how actively students are engaging with the material. The pilot’s initial targets include strong clinic attendance, improved health knowledge, and greater school attendance and retention. We plan to do this by doing the following:

• Track student attendance and participation.

• Use simple pre- and post-clinic questions to measure health knowledge.

• Monitor tutoring, academic engagement, and student progress.

• Record mentor meetings, student questions, and follow-up needs.

• Collect reflections after clinics and healthcare exposure activities.

• Gather feedback from students, teachers, schools, and healthcare partners.

• Review results regularly to improve the program.

• Report outcomes clearly to leadership, partners, and donors.

Before and after selected health education clinics, students may complete a few brief questions related to the lesson. These responses will help measure whether students better understand topics such as nutrition, hygiene, illness prevention, mental health, and basic first aid. The goal is not to create complicated testing, but to gather practical information that helps presenters improve future lessons and focus on the subjects students need most.

GMF will also monitor academic support, mentorship, and healthcare career preparation. Records may include tutoring attendance, subjects covered, mentor meetings, student questions, application-support requests, and reflections following healthcare exposure activities. This will help the team evaluate whether students are receiving consistent support and developing a clearer understanding of healthcare education and career pathways.

Feedback from teachers, school administrators, mentors, healthcare professionals, students, and local partners will provide important context behind the numbers. Their observations can help identify scheduling problems, topics that require additional attention, and activities that are especially valuable to students. GMF will review this information throughout the pilot so the program can be adjusted responsibly rather than waiting until the end of the year.

These measurements will also support accountability and future growth. By documenting outcomes, challenges, and lessons learned, GMF can clearly report the program’s progress to partner schools, organizational leadership, and donors. The results will help determine which parts of the model should be continued, improved, or expanded as the Foundation works toward a sustainable program that connects health education, academic opportunity, mentorship, and healthcare career exposure.
