The ninth annual Health Occupations Career Fair will be held Thursday, Nov. 3 and Friday, Nov. 4 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mobile Civic Center Expo Hall. As the signature project of the Bay Area Healthcare Coalition and Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce’s Center for Workforce Development, the event is open to high school students (grades 9, 10 and 11) interested in exploring healthcare professions. This event gives students hands-on experience, starting with the 911 call and following mock patients from the scene of a head-on collision (to be staged in the Expo Hall parking lot). Exhibits are tied to specific activities to diagnoses. Students will administer CPR to a mannequin, deliver a baby, review x-rays for broken bones in the radiology exhibit, put splints on “broken” thumbs, perform “surgery” and go though rehabilitation procedures, among others.
