Journeys & Destinations

What is Journeys & Destinations? 

In this day-long event, high school students spend time with health care professionals from a wide range of disciplines in a small group setting. Students learn from a variety of health care professionals about their career path, salary potential and daily activities. In the past, Journeys & Destinations has featured presenters who are family physicians, athletic trainers, medical technologists, medical forensic scientists, veterinarians, pharmacists and occupational therapists.

Journeys & Destinations is a great way for students to find their perfect fit among the many different careers in health care.
