-Hospital Now Accepting Applications for 11th Annual Healthcare Connection Program-
OLD BRIDGE / PERTH AMBOY, February 24, 2010… Raritan Bay Medical Center is accepting applications now for an intensive four-day career workshop designed for students entering their senior year of high school who are interested in pursuing careers in healthcare. The 11th annual Healthcare Connection program will be held July 6-9, at the hospital’s Old Bridge and Perth Amboy locations. The application deadline is Friday, April 2.
The six students selected will observe a variety of healthcare situations and interact with physicians, nurses and administrative staff in a wide range of departments including the emergency department, nursing units, cardiac catheterization lab, surgical suite, pharmacy and many others. Experts in each field will provide career information and resources, and students will engage in hands-on experiences and observations that promise to offer insights into a large number of healthcare careers.
Acceptance into the healthcare connection program is limited. Transportation between the Old Bridge and Perth Amboy locations is the responsibility of each participant. Contact Susan Pasternack in the volunteer services department at 732.324.5006 for information and an application packet.
