Baystate-Springfield Educational Partnership (BSEP)

A Good Idea

Description

The Baystate-Springfield Educational Partnership encourages and provides support to children and adolescents who want a career in healthcare. Elementary school students are connected with Baystate employees, who provide mentorship and serve as positive role models, through a weekly lunchtime session. Older students at the middle and high school level are supported with math and science instruction and internship or job-shadowing opportunities.

Goal / Mission

The goal is to guide students from underserved communities towards careers in healthcare, simultaneously fulfilling workforce needs.

Results / Accomplishments

Since 2006, 750 students have successfully completed BSEP programs. 75% of these students went on to attend college and more than 45 have taken jobs within Baystate Health.

A Good Idea meets the following HCI criteria:

  1. The program description includes: the sponsoring organization, program goals, program funding source, program implementation steps and outcomes.
  2. The program evaluation is limited to descriptive measure(s) of success/accomplishment (i.e., program participation rates, number of services/education sessions/radio messages provided). Note: oftentimes, the program has been newly implemented and a program evaluation has not yet been conducted. Programs that have not yet been evaluated, but which show promise in improving health or quality of life, are classified as Good Ideas until an evaluation is conducted.
