The Health Sciences program provides students with the skills and experience necessary for employment and post-secondary education in any of the allied health sciences, medical sciences, veterinary medicine, dental medicine, public health sciences or nursing. Academy students have the opportunity to become members of HOSA and the Big Bend AHEC/TMH Healthcare Ambassador Program, dual enroll, and earn Industry Certification. Students are also eligible for a TMH clinical scholarship set aside specifically for graduates of the Millicent Holifield Academy of Health Sciences.

The Millicent Holifield Academy of Health Sciences at James S. Rickards High School is designed to encourage and prepare students for entry into healthcare careers immediately upon graduation and/or continued education in the healthcare profession in the post-secondary arena. While in the program, students have the opportunity to obtain post-secondary credits, obtain industry certifications, and participate in hands-on experiences. During their senior year, students have the opportunity to participate in the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program and clinical experience, dual-enroll in another post-secondary healthcare program, or be placed in an externship position.  Those who participate in the CNA training program will sit for the CNA licensure exam at the end of their senior year.
