Pennsylvania College of Technology, in partnership with Susquehanna Health System, hosted high-school students on campus June 14-16 for a hands-on preview of health careers. The 40 participants rotated through a series of hands-on workshops that explored the college’s dental hygiene, health information technology, nursing, occupational therapy assistant, paramedic technology, physical fitness specialist, physician assistant, radiography and surgical technology academic majors, and toured The Williamsport Hospital & Medical Center and Divine Providence Hospital.
