Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Partners with Local High Schools for Career Exploration Program
Who: Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health will host a career exploration program, A Day in the Life, for local high school students at Lancaster General Hospital on Oct. 6 and Oct. 7. The program will provide a hands-on educational day for students as they develop career plans for their future.
What: A Day in the Life is an educational program where students learn about an occupation by shadowing an experienced professional. LG Health partnered with 15 local public high schools to invite students who have an interest in a medical career to join LG Health representatives to learn more about the health system and explore possible career options. It is anticipated that approximately 155 students each day will rotate through eight hands-on activities representing Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Medicine, Pharmacy, Surgical Technology, Cardiology, Radiology, and Laboratory Services. The day will also include an opportunity to job shadow in a student-selected area of choice.
LG Health representatives, as well as selected high school students enrolled in the program, will be available for interviews during the morning of Oct 6th and 7th. Please RSVP by October 5th to allow planning for a LG Health representative to meet interested media to escort to the program.
