Health Professionals Career Week

Launched in 2022, March Break Health Professionals Career Week introduces high school students from underserved communities to holistic, community-rooted healthcare settings, and to provide opportunities to engage with diverse healthcare professionals in the City’s East end. Through case studies, students explore the roles and services within these pathways. Additionally, in collaboration with Scarborough Health Network and Michael Garron Hospital, the profram offers students the chance to observe hospital operations, interact with healthcare professionals, and tour various hospital departments. Following the exciting announcement of the Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health, this program was created to provide students in the Scarborough area with exposure to the future opportunities and advancements coming to their community.
