There are countless careers in the healthcare industry, and Charleston Regional Medical Center (CAMC) wants West Virginia high school students to consider each career path when choosing a career path.
CAMC has invited more than 35 high schools to its 8th Annual Health Care Career Showcase on Wednesday, Oct. 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.
Representatives from CAMC’s more than 55 departments will educate students about career opportunities at the hospital.
When most people think of healthcare professionals, they think of doctors and nurses, but there are also many people who work in other healthcare settings, such as IT, human resources, supply chain, finance, and law.
Several West Virginia universities that offer academic programs geared toward many of these jobs will also provide exhibits and information at the showcase.
According to a press release, students will receive a “roadmap” book that will guide them through the showcase and explain the education, minimum requirements, licenses and certifications needed to work in a particular field.
