Hidden Careers in Health Care Teacher Externship

This is a hands-on, immersive day designed to take you beyond textbooks and into the real world of health care careers — the ones your students have probably never heard of. Think about respiratory therapy, laboratory science, health care IT, sterile processing, health information management, and so many more. You’ll hear from professionals who’ve built incredible careers in these fields, then visit a health care facility to see it all firsthand.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Real career pathway knowledge you can bring straight into your classroom
• Innovative teaching strategies tied to healthcare workforce needs
• Connections with healthcare professionals and fellow educators
• Resources and tools to help students see possibilities beyond “doctor or nurse”

This experience is open to middle and high school educators across all subjects — not just science teachers! Whether you teach English, math, tech ed, or anything in between, your students benefit when you know what’s out there.
