Discovery Day in Health Sciences
University of Manitoba
Thursday, November 9, 2023
In partnership with the University of Manitoba's College of Medicine, we are delighted to host this year's Discovery Day in Health Sciences on November 9.
This national program encourages young people to explore exciting career options in the sciences. Each event features informative displays, a captivating keynote lecture, interactive workshops, and a thought-provoking career panel discussion. Over 250 secondary school students from across Manitoba are expected to attend. The objective of the day is to spark their interest in considering a future career in health care.
Currently we are looking for presenters to host an engaging workshop in the morning and/or afternoon, or to take part in our Health Pros Tell All panel discussion. We welcome anyone with a passion for their field of study and an interest in outreach (faculty, researchers, clinicians, technicians, or grad/undergrad students) to join us in this exciting initiative to educate and engage curious minds.
WORKSHOP PRESENTERS
* Small interactive group sessions offer students the opportunity to learn more about a particular health care field from the presenters
* Workshops take place 10:30 - 12:00 and 1:00 - 2:30
* Presenters can sign up for either or both time slots (same presentation with two different groups of high school students)
* Presenters are responsible for their own room and AV bookings
"HEALTH PROS TELL ALL" CAREER PANEL DISCUSSION
* The moderated panel discussion comprises five health care academics/professionals from various fields who will each have three minutes to share with the entire audience the story of their journey from high school to present day
* Q&A follows after all have spoken
* The panel runs 2:45 - 3:30 PM
These events are very well received by participants and are an important part of how they explore their career options. We track and share all student feedback with presenters.
Those interested in taking part will find more information, including the submission form, on the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame website at https://cdnmedhall.ca/umanitoba/presenters
Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, September 13
Anyone with questions is welcome to email Janice McNorgan at jmcnorgan(a)cdnmedhall.ca<mailto:jmcnorgan@cdnmedhall.ca>.
