A panel of health care professionals recently shared their insights and experiences with teens and adults at Project Self-Sufficiency’s “Becoming You: Health Care Careers” seminar. Surgeon Dr. Michelle O’Shea was joined by Occupational Therapist Michelle Mahoney, Surgical Technician Christine Slater, and Registered Nurse Patty Kemper for an informative discussion which encompassed descriptions of their background, typical day and the challenges each have faced during their careers.
The “Becoming You: Career Explorations” series consists of monthly forums highlighting career opportunities in a variety of disciplines. Successful professionals from the area have been invited to speak about their education, background, and current job description, as well as offer answers to questions posed by the audience. Upcoming subjects will include Non-Traditional Careers, Culinary Careers and Helping Professions.
