RESOURCES FROM OUR ONLINE HEALTHCARE SYMPOSIUM FOR STUDENTS

We were so happy to host many Charlotte area students during our Virtual Academic Advantage event on April 21. Our featured speakers gave an overview of what it took for them to become the medical professionals they are today, while our counselor gave practical advice for the next steps students should take, including college research and applications. We also awarded one student with a $500 scholarship.

The resources below are designed to help students continue on the path to becoming a healthcare professional. The entire presentation is available as a video to review or watch for the first time if you were unable to join us. We also have the presentation slides and links to learn more about local colleges, universities, community organizations, and nonprofits.
