This morning we met Mirri at AHEC and headed out to Barrow High School, where we had five students attend a lunch session about health careers. We went over a brief overview of available health careers, discussed which classes are usually necessary for pre-reqs and certain programs, and then we discussed the options in nursing. We talked to the students about the importance of critical thinking and healthcare communication as well. Three of the students were interested in nursing, one was interested in med school, and one was interested in radiology technician. It was great to hear that at least five students are interested in health careers! We encouraged the students to continue pursuing opportunities to explore their futures in health. Tomorrow we’ll teach about 600 students in the middle school!
