7. Our featured Career Theme for September is Medicine. If you are
interested in helping people and enjoy science, then you may want to
consider a career in a medical field. There are many different medical
careers, and here are a few you may want to consider:

If you like working with people, then you may want to be a Phlebotomist -
a phlebotomist meets with patients to draw blood for tests, transfusions,
research, or blood donations. You can typically enter this occupation after
completing high school and a training program.

Are you interested in becoming a pharmacist? If so, you must have a
Doctor of Pharmacy degree which includes a 4-year professional degree
after your bachelor’s degree and passing required exams. Pharmacists
work in many settings including hospitals where they assist doctors in
prescribing different medicines with their patients, research settings, and
retail settings where they answer questions for their customers regarding
their medications.

Or maybe you are more interested in the science aspect of medicine
instead of meeting with patients - if that sounds interesting to you, then
you may want to consider a career as a Medical Scientist. They conduct
research aimed at improving overall human health. Medical scientists
typically have a Ph.D., usually in biology or a related life science. Some
medical scientists get a medical degree instead of, or in addition to, a
Ph.D.

There are numerous careers in the medical field - feel free to stop into the
CCPC to investigate!

Also, please join us for this month’s career chat which has been moved to
October 21 during Warrior bell in room 26 (which is the computer
classroom downstairs) where we’ll feature MHS graduate, Kieran Phelan,
who will share his journey regarding How to Become a Doctor. See Mrs.
Leszczuk with any questions.
