FUTUREMED CLUB GUEST SPEAKER SERIES |
Briarcliff High School’s FutureMed Club is launching a new recurring monthly Guest Speaker Series to help students explore careers in medicine, healthcare, life sciences, and beyond! We warmly invite our Briarcliff community members to take part - whether you’re a doctor, nurse, researcher, veterinarian, pharmacist, emergency medical services, or a professional working in any area of healthcare. Each session is very relaxed and conversational, lasting only about 20–30 minutes. No preparation is needed - just come share your story, what you do, and what inspired your career. Our students are genuinely eager to learn about different healthcare paths and hear directly from those working in the field. |
