Boston Campus Hosts Health Career Opportunities Program

This summer the Boston campus hosted the Focus on Health Career Opportunities Program in collaboration with the Boston Public Schools and the University of Massachusetts Boston. The program gave more than 25 local high school students an opportunity to visit the campus and immerse themselves in the College’s academic programs. Each week, College faculty gave an hour-long presentation about their particular field and the academic path leading there. Each session included experiential education where the students were able to try their hands at each of the professions. Over the course of the program, students worked in the Nursing Skills, Nuclear Medicine Technology and Radiography, Pharmacy Practice, Pharmacy Compounding, and Physician Assistant Physical Assessment laboratories. The Office of Admission also provided tours and information sessions focusing on the College’s academic programs. At the conclusion of the six-week program, students held a Health Poster Presentation at UMASS-Boston, where they presented poster projects based on a specific health care career path covered in the program.
