Hands-On Healthcare Day

Approximately 80 students from Jackson and Josephine County high schools attended Hands-On Healthcare at the Oregon Institute of Technology on April 24, 2009 from 9:30 am -1:30 pm.

This event featured hands-on stations and highlighted several different healthcare careers. Participants had the opportunity to interact with OIT students, investigate emerging disciplines within the healthcare field and learn more about becoming a healthcare professional.

Some of the activities available for students included: heart or brain dissection, nuclear medicine imaging, simulated drunk driving of a golf cart, blood typing, and a panel discussion with admissions and financial aid personnel from OIT.
