Oct. 22 | Workshops take place 10:00 AM – 11:30 PM and 12:30 - 2:00 PM

This national program encourages young people to explore health sciences and all the exciting career options available. Each event features informative displays, a captivating keynote lecture, interactive workshops, and a thought-provoking career panel discussion.

Over 200 students from secondary schools in Calgary and its surrounding area are expected to attend. The objective of the day is to expose them to different careers while sparking their interest in considering a career in health care and health sciences. A perfect outreach opportunity.

We are currently looking for presenters to host an engaging workshop in the morning and/or afternoon representing your field of work. We welcome anyone with a passion for their field of study and an interest in outreach (faculty, researchers, clinicians, technicians, or grad/undergrad students) to join us in this exciting initiative to educate and engage curious minds.
