We have exciting news to share! A new program is coming to MCTEC in 2027 for Mercer County Schoolsβ students. Leaders from MCTEC, WVU Medicine, and school counselors, met today with a representative from the Education Alliance to initiate the process of offering the MedEd program. The MedEd program is a two-year career technical healthcare program designed to introduce juniors and seniors to WVU Medicine Princeton Medical Center. MedEd students will gain on-the-job experience in healthcare careers and will participate in a paid internship during their senior year. The MedEd program is a partnership between the school system, MCTEC, WVU Medicine Princeton Medical Center, and the Education Alliance. The MedEd program is a direct pathway to a possible healthcare career after graduation.
