Third Meeting, Hello Ms. Irving!

July 9th, our guest speaker, Ms. Jennifer Irving of BJC School Outreach, spoke to us about careers in health-care and ways to explore our interests in the medical field. She explained that, while the internet is a great source of information, shadowing and volunteering can offer hands on experiences you cannot receive in front of a screen. After explaining some of the well paid, lesser known careers in heath services, she discussed resources available to students through BJC Health Care. She provided us with volunteer forms, brochures and her contact information. Students now have the opportunity to not only shadow physicians, but any career in health care! The visits can range from following a doctor in an ER to witnessing a surgery. We are so excited!
