10/28 Pathways to Healthcare

Pathways to Healthcare

Wednesday, October 28th, 2020

03:30 PM - 05:00 PM

Other
Virtual

It is a common misconception that working in the field of healthcare requires going to medical school. While medical school is necessary to become a physician, there are hundreds of other roles that exist in the field of healthcare, many of which do not require years and years of graduate schooling (or none at all). This event will focus on what some of those career options are, including both patient-care-focused roles and more behind-the-scenes roles, where you can find more information about them, and advice for those of you who are looking to get started pursuing one of these careers. The event will also include an opportunity to hear from a panel of alumni who are currently working in an array of healthcare careers. In order to register for this event, please visit https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3177059048452160782. If you are unable to attend the date/time, we still encourage you to register because all registrants will receive a link to the recording of the event within 24 hours.
