BWH joined nine other area hospitals to participate in Health Care Career Day on December 10 at the Bayside Expo Center. Presented by BostonWorks in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Education, Health Care Career Day provided the opportunity to introduce more than 600 local high school students to the variety of career opportunities available within the Massachusetts health care industry.
The day included the creation of a mock hospital, through which groups of 30 students at a time toured, following a patient case study through the different functions of the hospital. Tours lasted approximately three hours, with students beginning in Ambulatory, proceeding to the Emergency Department and then moving on to additional rooms based on the specifics of their patient case study. Students reviewed their case studies prior to the event and came prepared with questions for the exhibitors in each room.
