Let's Talk About Your Future.
Healthcare Symposium for Students
Here’s What Students Learned:
- When and how to start planning for a career in healthcare
- Tips to prepare for college and medical school
- A day in the life of a healthcare professional
- What to expect from a career in medicine
- What it’s like to be an entrepreneur and a doctor
- The various healthcare career paths
It was our pleasure to host our Academic Advantage healthcare symposium at the Renaissance Waterford Oklahoma City Hotel in late April. Each of our speakers gave an overview of what it took for them to become the medical professionals they are today, while our college advisor gave practical advice for the next steps students should take, including college research and applications. We also awarded two scholarships to two students, as well as an HP laptop and an iPad Air to a few of the students who were able to join us.
The resources below are designed to help you continue on your path to becoming a healthcare professional. The entire presentation is also available below as a PDF.
