The 2026 Virtual Health Care Career Day will be 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., on Feb. 18, and is an opportunity for students of all ages to learn about eight different roles in health care and engage in a live Q&A with the professionals serving in those occupations. 

Representatives of the Kansas Hospital Association, the Kansas State Department of Education and the Kansas Board of Regents will host this dynamic, one-day statewide online event that will take you inside Kansas hospitals to learn about the many career opportunities available in health care by showcasing key career pathways in the health care industry. 

Some schools choose to participate through health science classes; others broadcast the event to an open cafeteria/auditorium/resource room for all students to watch or some schools encourage students to register so they watch from their individual devices. Join specific segments or watch it all. This event can be tailored to what works best for your school. All are welcome to participate so feel free to share the event with parents, students, school partnerships and your community. 

Attendees will be automatically provided with the Zoom link and a calendar invite upon registration. Register for free here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EHJyvBoaSaufT3R6AGo1KQ
