Scrubs Camp Online
We are excited to announce the launching of our new Scrubs Online program, which is being offered free of charge. The Scrubs Online program will officially open June 15, 2020.
The Scrubs Online program will have 5 required modules where you will learn about careers as a: Licensed Practical Nurse, Emergency Medical Professional, Radiological Technician, Surgical Technician and Phlebotomy Technician. The modules can be done at your own pace and will be available through Aug. 22.
We will also host weekly Q&A sessions starting the week of July 6, presented by several healthcare professionals throughout seven weeks. All live sessions will last about an hour but will have a short presentation of the career, and will then be open for discussion and questions to help participants start to explore future healthcare career opportunities.
There are also many resources that will be shared throughout the length of the program. Resources include: other careers that are not highlighted in the required modules, information on entry-level healthcare careers, staying connected to healthcare opportunities, discussion boards for you to ask questions that may not be covered in modules, weekly optional check-ins and much more.
