LAMC Recruiting High School and Local Youth for 2026 MASH Job-Shadow

Los Alamos Medical Center announced on Feb. 26, 2026 that it is recruiting high-school students and other eligible local youth to take part in the 2026 Multiple Avenues for Successful Healthcare program, known as MASH. The hospital described MASH as a one-week job-shadow experience taking place in 2026 at LAMC facilities in Los Alamos County.

The announcement identified the target participants as high-school students and potentially other eligible local youth, specifying the 2026 MASH cohort as the recruitment focus. Los Alamos Medical Center used the MASH name - Multiple Avenues for Successful Healthcare - in its outreach to emphasize the program model and one-week duration.

Los Alamos Medical Center said the program is a job-shadow experience rather than a paid internship, and the center framed the schedule around a one-week placement at LAMC. The hospital’s message centered on 2026 placement opportunities at the medical center, with recruitment activity beginning with the Feb. 26, 2026 announcement.

The medical center did not include full application deadlines, specific departmental placements, or a complete calendar in the initial Feb. 26 announcement, and LAMC noted further details will follow for interested applicants. Families and prospective participants should follow Los Alamos Medical Center communications for the release of application instructions and any eligibility requirements tied to the 2026 MASH cohort.

By recruiting for the 2026 MASH one-week job-shadow now, Los Alamos Medical Center set the timeline for local outreach this year and signaled that the hospital will host younger participants on site in Los Alamos County. The center’s Feb. 26, 2026 announcement establishes the 2026 MASH program as a planned in-person opportunity at LAMC for high-school students and eligible local youth.
