MedTrack | Padua Franciscan High School

Preparing Students in the Franciscan Tradition for Careers in Science and Medicine

Do you wonder if you have what it takes to be a doctor? Does a career as a physical therapist sound rewarding to you? Do the challenges of biotech research excite you? Does nursing hold a special place in your heart? How about pharmacy, dentistry, or perhaps veterinary medicine?

Padua Franciscan High School will get you there with MedTrack®. MedTrack is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in science and medicine by following a rigorous science and math program, and embracing the Franciscan tradition of ministering to the needs of the sick in their community. This exciting new program will challenge you with hands-on activities both in and out of the classroom as you explore how to turn your dreams into reality.
