A summer pathways experience helped her discover a career she never knew existed.

When Sam Rudnick participated in Mayo Clinic's Career Immersion Program as a high school student, she gained exposure to a wide range of healthcare professions and discovered how many people work together to support patient care.

One experience stood out: shadowing surgical assistants in the operating room. Seeing the role firsthand helped her connect her interests with a potential career path and gave her a clearer vision for her future.

After graduating from high school, Sam earned a Bachelor of Health Sciences from the University of Minnesota Rochester while gaining clinical experience as a Patient Care Assistant at Mayo Clinic. Today, she is pursuing that same passion as a student in Mayo Clinic's Surgical Assistant Program.

Her journey reflects the power of early career exploration and how pathways programs can help learners discover opportunities that shape their educational and professional goals.

One summer program helped her discover her future in Nuclear Medicine.

Before participating in Mayo Clinic's Career Immersion Program, Ilhaam Mohamed knew about only a handful of healthcare professions. Through the program, she explored a variety of careers and gained a deeper understanding of the many ways healthcare teams contribute to patient care.

Sessions focused on Nuclear Medicine and physical therapy captured her attention, introducing her to fields she had not previously considered. The experience ultimately inspired her to pursue Nuclear Medicine as a career.

To prepare for that future, Ilhaam gained clinical experience through phlebotomy and continued building the skills needed to work with patients. This fall, she will begin Mayo Clinic's Nuclear Medicine Program.

Her story demonstrates how pathways programs help learners explore possibilities, discover interests and take meaningful steps toward healthcare careers.
