Healthcare Travelling Roadshow
The Healthcare Travelling Roadshow takes a multidisciplinary group of health care students to rural communities across BC to showcase career opportunities to high school students.
Developed in 2010 as a grassroots initiative, the provincial initiative has connected with more than 16,500 high school students during 102 community visits throughout northern and rural BC.
The Healthcare Travelling Roadshow is delivered in partnership with the University of Northern British Columbia, UBC Faculty of Medicine, Northern Medical Programs Trust, Interior Health, Island Health, and Rural Education Action Plan.
