MCS HOSA (Future Healthcare Professionals) enjoyed a day of learning and observation on the ECU Health Campus. Students participated in the Brody Sciences Simulation Lab, observed real rehab practices, visited the Maynard Children's Hospital, toured the Ronald McDonald House, and ventured through the Brody Heart and Cancer Centers. MCS is learning by doing as students also received information about job shadowing opportunities at various ECU Health facilities.
