I want to pursue a career in the medical/healthcare field but am unsure about which career at this point.

I first participated in the Hands on Health day at Gundersen Health System. I learned more about the MD career (the career I job shadowed) and the work they do on a day-to-day basis.

Yes, I participated in AHEConnect.

The internship program interests me.
What advice would you give to younger students starting to navigate their future in a health care career?
Take advantage of the wonderful camps and connections that AHEC and other organizations in the area provide young adults- especially young people like me who are unsure of their healthcare career. Organizations, such as AHEC, are great ways to learn something new about yourself, explore your interests, and meet new people!
