Guiding Future Healthcare Professionals: Career Counseling and Student Outreach
To spread awareness and promote various rehabilitation courses, IHS has been regularly conducting promotional and career counseling events by reaching out to schools, junior colleges, and other educational institutions. On May 5th and 9th, the staff of IHS organized outreach events for students and parents at around 25 designated places in and around Bhubaneswar. They contacted approximately 2,200 students and parents, explaining the various courses in the rehabilitation domain, their scope, and how these courses provide an excellent and satisfactory career option for those who want to serve society by becoming healthcare professionals.
We are also organizing regular webinars to reach out to the student community, spreading awareness and providing counseling regarding career options in the rehabilitation domain. We have conducted four webinars so far (on May 18th, 21st, 23rd, 29th, and June 10th), where Prof. Satya Mahapatra, Founder and Director of IHS, and other faculty interacted with around 120 students, clarifying various queries related to bachelor's courses in Physiotherapy and Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology.
