Career Exploration Opportunity at Covenant

Students Invited to Explore Careers at Covenant
January 19 Sign-up and informational night

Covenant HealthCare is proud to be an "Explorer Post" through the Boy Scouts of America with the mission of exposing students to careers in health care related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The program is open to all students between the ages of 15 and 18 years old. There will be six sessions on Monday nights from 4:30pm to 6:00pm roughly every other week from February through May. Each week has a different focus of health care for students to explore. The sessions are meant to be hands-on, interactive and educational.

Parents and students are welcome to sign up for the program and learn more Monday, January 19 between 5:30pm and 6:30pm at Covenant Cooper (Entrance A at 700 Cooper, Saginaw, MI in the Cooper Lecture Theater). The cost is just $5 per student thanks to the Covenant HealthCare Foundation. The program is limited to the first 40 students who register.

Past session topics include:

Emergency Care: from the LifeNet crew and helicopter, to the region’s busiest trauma center
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
What It Takes to Be a Physician: CMU College of Medicine and Simulation Lab
Birth Center and Pediatric Care
Biomedical Engineering
Respiratory Therapy
In the operating room- Robotic Surgery and Anesthesia

“With the medical field being so vast, Covenant is excited to help expose students to career opportunities they might not otherwise be aware of,” says Kristin Knoll, Public Relations Specialist at Covenant. “We look forward to helping the next generation of medical professionals choose their path.”

In the past, Covenant has offered this program exclusively to children of employees. The program is a collaboration through the Boy Scouts of America and Covenant Volunteer Services, Public Relations, and Human Resources.
