Rogue Community College is hosting six Health Care Demo Days at its Table Rock Campus in White City.

These interactive events are designed to give local high school students hands-on exposure to careers in the health care industry.

Students from approximately 20 high schools across the Rogue Valley will attend these events to explore RCC's health care programs and experience real-world applications in health care professions.

The first event was held last week and the last event will be held on April 21st.

Participants will engage in immersive activities such as creating dental molds in the lab, filling prescriptions with candy in a simulated pharmacy and practicing emergency response in medical scenarios.

Programs featured at Health Care Demo Days including Emergency Medical Services, Certified Nursing Assistant, Nursing, Pharmacy Technician, Massage Therapy, Physical Therapist Assistant, Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant and Phlebotomy.

A key feature of the events is RCC's partnership with Mercy Flights which contributes staff, ambulances and occasionally a helicopter to enhance the interactive experience. These collaborations help create an authentic and engaging environment, showcasing the critical role of health care professionals in the region.
