New Visions Health & Medical Sciences is an academically rigorous professional studies program for college-bound high school seniors who are interested in careers such as medicine (including physician and physician assistant), nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medical technology, physical therapy, nutrition/dietetics, and medical research. ​Clinical experience is the core of the program. Students are immersed in the medical field through a combination of classroom learning and clinical rotations (internships) in departments at Cayuga Medical Center and medical practices and health agencies in the community. Through daily involvement with medical staff, students learn what is required of health care professionals and understand how their education correlates to real-life situations on the job. Students get first-hand experience with the professional demands of a busy medical environment and see how working together as a team can provide quality patient care.

New Visions students assist with patient care, learn about laboratory and diagnostic procedures, and work alongside medical and support professionals in virtually every health and medical specialty during the course of the year. ​New Visions students usually take one or two morning classes at their high schools. Then, they head to Cayuga Medical Center for New Visions from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. When their work at the hospital is complete, most students return to their high schools for academics, athletics, and other extracurricular activities.
