Students Seeking Information About Health Careers
The ORNH provides a variety of supports ranging from; information on careers in rural and northern healthcare, keeping them linked to rural and northern Manitoba and identifying financial resources to assist them with their education. Finally, we need to continually be working with students to identify any barriers they may experience that could prevent them from pursuing a career in rural or northern health care.
The ORNH is always looking for ways to connect to students so if you are aware of student forums or opportunities for the office to present to students please contact the office and we will do our best to fit the event into our schedule.
