South Coast College, along with Horizon Support Services is hosting a 2-hour mixer type event to bring education about local resources and programs in the medical field to our students and the community.

There will be vendors (in the medical field or with an emphasis on helping seniors), 4 speakers on medical topics (15 minutes each) in a separate room, food, prizes, and resources. This is a way for high school students and their parents to visit our campus casually. Medical Assistant students will be here to meet the vendors and enjoy the speakers as well. The doctors that instruct our Medical Assistant program will be here to answer any questions attendees may have about our program. This is literally our medical community connecting.
This is a free event. We only hope to educate others about the medical community and opportunities. Whether people are in need of resources or careers, this is a great way to introduce yourself.
