About this Event
Overview
Thinking about a career in healthcare but not sure where to start? Join us for a relaxed, honest conversation with people who work in the field.
In this panel, healthcare professionals will share how they got their start, what their jobs are really like, and the many paths into healthcare, from roles that work directly with patients to behind-the-scenes careers in billing, administration, and more. Many of these jobs don't require a four-year degree.
You'll also learn about free healthcare training programs available to New Yorkers and how to take your next step.
