Health-care careers touted at FVCC event

Flathead Valley Community College will host its first “Night at The Broussard Center,” from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16.

The event will allow the community to pursue more information on various health-care careers.

FVCC’s nursing and health science programs will host the event, which will begin with short one-act vignettes showcasing health-care careers in action. Students will perform live demonstrations that follow medical care from emergency medical services to the emergency room, surgery, intensive care and rehabilitation.

Following those demonstrations, guests will be invited to visit booths containing information about many of FVCC’s available programs of study, including health information technology, medical assistant, nursing, paramedicine, pharmacy technology and others. More information on the many programs can be found at www.fvcc.edu/healthcare.

Career Coach, an online program that assesses career interests and provides current data on wages, employment, job postings and associated education and training, will be available for guests.

The event is free and open to the public in the Rebecca Chaney Broussard Center for Nursing and Health Science on the FVCC campus.
