Medical Careers Day to connect Rochester students with local professionals, hands-on experience
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Members of The Harley School visit the News 8 at Sunrise set explaining the first-ever Medical Careers Day. The free event offers all local students the chance to connect with Rochester-area professionals, learn more about different concentrations and medical school, and try their hands at interactive experiences.
The school's director of communications, Beth Bailey, and her daughter, 11th-grade student Brynn McHenry, sit down with News 8's Mikhaela Singleton, explaining the goal of showcasing just how many options students have if they are interested in healthcare.
'There's so much variety in the medical field, and when you're young, you don't exactly know what you want to do,' says Brynn, who herself is interested in medicine.
'We wanted a day where students from all across the region–not just from the Harley School–can learn a little bit more, what some of the different paths are, explore different things, do some hands-on medical procedures, and really dig into a lot of things hopefully in a fun way,' says Bailey.
The event at The Harley School campus will be Saturday, April 26, from 10 am to 3:30 pm. The day will begin with panel discussions featuring some of Rochester's top medical experts, a free lunch, and then six interactive experiences for attendees to choose from. The event is free to the public ages 12 and up, and pre-registration is required.
