Description: Introduce young girls to an exciting career in healthcare! Work in a small group to develop an entertaining presentation about your career – what you do, the training required, the type of patients you see, how you make a difference, and the personal benefits of your chosen profession. The 50 minute presentation will include an interactive hands-on experience representative of your profession. Make a difference by introducing 6th-8th grade girls to the possibility of a career in health care. The Expand Your Horizons Conference is held each year to interest girls in math, science, and technology.
