2014 DISCOVERY DAYS AT U OF M

Discovery Days is a highly successful and sought after health sciences program for high school students, comprised of a dynamic and inspiring keynote lecture and interactive workshops at the University of Manitoba’s Basic Medical Services located at the Health Sciences Centre, in Winnipeg.  In addition, the participants attended a panel discussion  exploring careers in medicine as high school students were in dialogue with researchers, clinicians and educators as they share the evolution of their academic and professional careers.  Approximately 200 high school students from across Manitoba had the opportunity to attend this one day event.   Future aspiring medical professionals Allen C. and Bailey G.  grade 11 and grade 12 students from Carman Collegiate attended this excellent day on November 7th as they explored and discovered a wide spectrum of areas, as well as gained a clear picture of what it would be like to be a health professional in medical and health sciences to educate, inspire and encourage careers in the medical field.  Former Carman Collegiate Grad Jack Heard is in his first year of Medicine at the U of M, pictured here with Allan and Bailey.
