Several Groton Area HOSA members attended the Northeast SD AHEC Scrubs & HOSA Mini Camp.
During the camp, students explored a variety of healthcare careers, including: pharmacy, respiratory therapy, clinical laboratory science, emergency services, radiology, nursing, dental science and sports medicine.
The experience provided hands-on exposure and the opportunity to learn from professionals in each field. It was a valuable opportunity for students to gain insight into different healthcare career paths and continue developing their interests.
Thank you to Northeast SD AHEC for hosting this event and providing meaningful career exploration opportunities for our students.
