For over 25 years, the Discovery Days in Health Sciences program has helped high school students interested in science explore careers in medicine and health sciences through an inspiring keynote lecture, hands-on workshops, and a career panel Q&A session. This experience helps youth make informed decisions about life after high school and career development while learning about innovative practices and exciting research from some of Canada’s best.
