Part 1: Speaker Series in association w/ HOSA

- The speaker series will introduce students around campus to principles and practices of research and medicine by
professionals in the healthcare field.
 - This will help students around campus (maybe other schools if some speakers come after school) that are
interested in making posters for HOSA’s SLC (or career display boards) if they are in HOSA or if they
are just interested in presenting their findings or passions with the community during the Health Fair
- Examples of the wide array of healthcare or medical professions that would be covered:
- If there are various people under one category, a panel can be held so that there is diversity and various
perspectives

Nurses- Doctors Biomedical engineers/

- Registered - OB/GYN bioengineers
Nurse ​Mrs. - Surgeon
Almario - Ruthie’s dad + her entire
- Nurse family pretty much
Practitioner - Director Doctor of
- In Charge neuropsychology at
Nurse UCLA

Therapists Assistants (medical, nurse, Medtronics at northridge

veterinary)

Practitioners Phlebotomist Dietician

Part 2: The Health Fair

- Use the series to promote health fair
- Blood Drive- paperwork, getting the bus out, advertising
- Booth for “Healing Cards” or just writing cards for patients are a local hospital (Los Robles or CHLA or Cedar
Sinai or ALL three)
- Careers in Medicine: having both professional and students speakers and presenters from different demographics
that will showcase this research or passions for the medical field or healthcare
- Photo Booth because it’s fun and it’ll give a chance for the people who attended the event to remember it
forever…
- Yoga + wellness
- Arts and Craft or interactive booths that incorporate healthcare or medical topics so that small kids can learn little
bits and pieces of information about maintaining hygiene or preventing themselves from getting sick
