Health Care Career Discovery (HCCD) is an endeavor that combines interactive classroom learning and observation in a health care setting designed to give students the opportunity to explore careers in health care firsthand. Sessions are offered from 5:30–7 p.m. (see calendar on opposite side). Each session offers interactive presentations about a specific department/unit within the hospital, and an in-depth glimpse into the various careers within that department/unit, and a question-and-answer period. Each session will offer students the opportunity to sign up to shadow within these areas of the hospital. HCCD is an excellent way to introduce students to the variety of career opportunities available in the health care field and to allow them to explore, in detail, particular areas of interest.
To register for programs, please complete the application from the website (lvhn.org/highschoolstudents) and fax to the number or mail to the address listed on the application.
