Calling any and all Healthcare related occupations. Are you a Doctor, nurse, CNA, Med Tech, SonoTech, or anything Healthcare related? (too many to list)
JWHS has two Introduction to Healthcare classes this year. Each student will research a healthcare career of their choice and present the information to the class. Students will reach out to a professional (in September or January) to ask them questions about their duties, education and advice as they consider the career. All we need is you and your expertise.
Please click on the google form link and input your information and the information will be shared with students. Here the link : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGBRW7cZrdX87U4JsWpylugKwtnJLFAID1hfFficjrHgA1WQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=112770430766925089209
