The Discover Your Future in Healthcare series ran in February 2021 and featured 15 different occupations from the heath care sector. Sessions included a professional (or two) from the field and admissions and information on academic programming was also highlighted.

Sessions include the obvious, such as doctor, physician assistant, or nurse, but also present occupations many don’t realize exist — such as health researcher, midwife, or genetic counsellor. Learn more about the options in healthcare as professionals speak about the occupation, their position, and experiences in the role.
