An insightful and fun hands-on workshop for students in grades 10 and 11, interested in a career in health science and technology. Our modified virtual half-day program is an exciting opportunity for students, from across the province, to explore careers in medicine and health sciences. This virtual symposium promises to provide an engaging discovery experience through interactive peer networking, games, exhibits, keynote lecture, stimulating workshops, and a career panel discussion. Each school is invited to register students who have a strong interest in a career in health sciences. This first step is to register your school online here, which is open now. Once our system has advised us of your school registration, we will email further instructions to you for your students to register online and select their interactive workshop assignments. Workshop spaces are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Individual student registration will open May 11, 2022. For complete details, please visit the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.
