Kansas Virtual Health Care Career Day – Jan. 30

(Dec. 13, 2024) – Registration is live for the 2025 Kansas Virtual Health Care Career Day. We would love Kansas hospitals to join us for our 2025 event on Jan. 30. The Kansas Hospital Association, Kansas State Department of Education and Kansas Board of Regents have partnered again this year to organize an excellent agenda for our 2025 event.

The Kansas Virtual Health Care Career Day takes students inside Kansas hospitals to learn about the many career opportunities available in health care and engages them in real-world learning. Students of all ages and grade levels are invited to participate in this event. Health care providers provide insights into career fields such as respiratory therapy, family practice medicine, facilities management, behavioral health, pharmacy, health information technology/cybersecurity, occupational therapy and critical care nursing.

This event is entirely virtual and hosted on Zoom. Zoom instructions will be sent out a week before the event. Some schools choose to participate in health science classes, while others broadcast to an open cafeteria/auditorium/resource room for all students. Hospitals also can host students for the event. KHA has created a list of ideas to help hospitals interact with local students interested in health care careers and encourage hospital participation.

With February being CTE Month, this event is a great way to kick off the month by allowing students to learn more about careers in an in-demand industry! Students of all education levels are invited to attend this free event from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 30.
