The Healthcare Travelling Roadshow is seeking BC healthcare students and recent graduates to help recruit the next generation of rural healthcare professionals.
Travel with a multidisciplinary group of healthcare students and graduates from post-secondary institutions across B.C. to showcase career opportunities to rural high school students. Explore rural BC and engage with local community stakeholders and healthcare professionals.
Join us for one of three exciting roadshow trips in Northern and Interior BC:
- Cassiar-Fort Nelson Roadshow (Smithers, Dease Lake, Watson Lake, Fort Nelson) – April 29 to May 5, 2018
- Columbia-Shuswap Roadshow (Sicamous, Revelstoke, Nakusp) – May 6 to 12, 2018
- Coastal Roadshow (New Aiyansh, Gingolx, Lak Kw’alaams, Metlakatla) – May 13 to 19, 2018
The Healthcare Travelling Roadshow was conceived as a grass roots initiative to address rural healthcare workforce shortages. The provincial initiative has grown to include three regional trips each year in Northern and Interior BC. Since its inception in 2010, the roadshow has connected with more than 7,000 teenagers in 32 communities throughout BC.
