WELCOME TO ADVENTURES IN HEALTH CARE 2021 ONLINE

 Year after year during student interviews we hear the same lament......, "I know what I want to study, but I just don`t know what I want to do". If that sounds like you, this is where you belong. It is about exploring in places you haven`t been before (of course we are talking figuratively).

• The purpose of the ROTARY Adventures in Health Care program is to help those interested in EXPLORING educational and career opportunities in health care. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, the LIVE program has been suspended for 2020 and 2021.  
• The FREE ONLINE program is not meant to replace the LIVE program. Adventures in Health Care ONLINE  will broaden your scope of knowledge in the field of health sciences, allowing you to make more informed choices as you move forward in high school. Good planning gives you good results.
• What follows below is an outline of the FREE ONLINE program.
  • Unit 1 - Exploring the sites and sounds of the LIVE program
  • Unit 2 - Investigating how diseases were handled in our look back in history.
  • Unit 3 - Stepping into the life of a Canadian medical doctor in her final years in residency. Her insights are 21st Century and sometimes thought provoking.

  The program will go live March 13, 2021. There are brief quizzes following some segments that will encourage you to look back and recall what you have just watched and read....its called retention. The quiz is not a pass or fail, its purposes is....you guessed it, retention. But you  are encouraged to retake each quiz if you are not happy with the results ,...remember its about learning. There is no fail,  just lack of knowing. Upon completion of the three units of the program(participating in all the quizzes and the student survey at the end) a certificate will be awarded in early May. It can be used in your graduation portfolio as well as your Capstone Project in Grade 12.   
 

  The core program consists of photos and videos from previous LIVE events and hyperlinks to more specific career information, augmented with pertinent information. You are invited to start this program by viewing the video below and then register if you wish. There will be no fee, it will be FREE.

 Following her through her daily activities in different wards in the hospital while interacting with the rest of her team and varying patient scenarios....a real eye opener.  

  The third unit is a video series on a timely subject - "Global Eradication of a Disease", but not COVID19 !!  Learn how past pandemics were handled.
