Stettler 'Skills Day' for health care students set for Oct. 14
The event will let students explore local health care careers directly from nurses, physicians and other professionals who volunteer their time.
Why it matters
The event is part of a local push to attract and retain health care workers in rural Alberta communities.
The Stettler Regional Board of Trade and the Stettler Health Professionals Attraction & Retention (HPA&R) Committee are hosting a 'Skills Day' event on Oct. 14 for students interested in health care careers. Only 40 spaces are available for the event.
Local nurses, physicians, laboratory and diagnostic imaging professionals, paramedics and firefighters will volunteer their time to share their experiences and skills with participating students, according to a County of Stettler release.
The Stettler Hospital is sponsoring and contributing to the event, alongside supporting roles from the Rural Health Professionals Action Plan, Campus Alberta Central and the Stettler Adult Learning Centre.
Organizers encourage students considering a health care career, as well as those simply curious about their options, to register early for the event.
