Health and public Affairs Academy
Whether you dream of running your own business or serving others as a first responder in medical emergencies, you will need ingenuity to make it come true. The Health and Public Affairs Academy can
help, giving you both the skills and the pride to succeed in your chosen pursuit: Entrepreneurship or First Responders.
EntrepreneurshipEntrepreneurs are the people who create small businesses to serve needs in their communities. In Edison’s
entrepreneurship program, you will improve your technology skills, study economic and legal aspects of the business world and learn to write a business plan, market your products and services and work
with vendors, manufacturers and customers in different countries. You will have the opportunity to earn high school and college credit at the same time, through a dual-enrollment partnership with Miami Dade
College. After completion of this program, you will be qualified for jobs in the retail, hospitality and tourism industries.
First Responders First responders are the first people to arrive at the scene of an emergency. In this program, you will apply your knowledge of science and math to basic emergency medical care, learning new skills and
earning emergency medical technician credits at Miami Dade College plus your CPR card along the way. You will learn by doing, getting hands-on experience in taking blood pressure and giving basic emergency
care, and through real-world field trips to operating rooms and trauma centers. When you complete this program, you may apply for jobs as a dispatcher, ambulance driver or other emergency service
professional, or train for firefighting and medical fields. Edison’s first responders program is offered in conjunction with Miami Dade College and the City of Miami Fire-Rescue Department.
