What is the Health Career Explorers Program?
 
The Health Career Explorers is a program for high school students who want to learn more about specific health careers and observe the workplace of various healthcare professionals.  Students will meet one evening a month October through March in cooperating local hospitals.  Students will tour various hospital areas, talk with healthcare providers, learn about salary levels, job outlook and educational preparation for a variety of health professions. They can attempt various procedures using demonstration models to perform such activities as manipulating laparoscopic surgical instruments, starting IV's, giving injections, and performing laboratory tests. Program runs from 5:30-7:30 each meeting night.
