MDH Medical Explorers Program

McDonough District Hospital will hold its next Medical Explorers program Wednesday, February 3. Students are invited to meet at 7:00PM, at All Pets Veterinary Clinic, 722 W Jackson St, Macomb. Karen Blakeley, DVM, MPH, will give Explorers a tour of the clinic; discuss what her typical day is like as a veterinarian as well as the business component; and salary ranges and educational requirements.

Medical Explorers is a program offered to all area high school students interested in learning about various medical careers. Chartered under the Boy Scouts of America Organization, the Post meets once a month during the school year.

The Medical Explorers program offers a truly unique experience. At each meeting we will explore a department of the hospital or another medical facility, and give Explorers the chance to get a sampling of hands-on experience, as well as talk to a medical professional to ask questions.

This year’s Post Advisor is Patty Henness, MDH Public Relations. For more information about Medical Explorers, you may call (309) 836-1557. If a high school student is interested in “exploring” any health related career, we invite them to join us!
