Description
The eight-week program provides hands-on exploration of health and human service careers across the Thumb region. During their visit to McKenzie, 9th and 10th grade students gained a behind-the-scenes look at how a rural hospital operates and the many career paths available within healthcare. The tour itself involved rotating through several departments – pharmacy, dietary, nursing, diagnostic imaging, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation – and participating in interactive learning experiences designed to bring healthcare careers to life.
