The HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Hospital in Fort Walton Beach and the Okaloosa County (Fla.) school district are partnering to establish a medical training program for high school juniors and seniors.

The Academy of Northwest Florida will operate out of a 6,375 square-foot space in the hospital. It will have two classrooms and two practical labs.

The Academy is overseen by the district's Career and Technical Education Department, the hospital says in a news release.

Construction is expected to be completed by January 2023.
