Doctors and medical educators agree it is not too early to expose teens to careers in
medicine, especially since there is going to be a great need in those professions in
Central Florida in the coming years as Orlando continues to evolve into a
destination for medicine and science.
“Health care is one of the major industries in our nation,” said Dr. Don Williams,
former SVP at AdventHealth University. “Its health and survival has a profound
impact on our economic well-being as a nation. Health care careers provide quick
entry level positions, upward mobility within a career track and one of the most
stable careers available today. It is critical that we get this word out to our high
school students.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics consistently ranks healthcare careers as the fastest -
growing and most in-demand career areas in the United States.
