The primary work of careers in the health science cluster is to treat patients facing illness or injury—whether to cure or rehabilitate from a condition, to maintain wellness, or to provide comfort or palliative care to persons dealing with incurable conditions. The healthcare industry is booming, and experts predict healthcare careers will continue to grow rapidly for at least the next decade.

Start Your Adventure

The bell rang, signaling the start of the school day. The students rushed into their classrooms, excited for the day ahead. "Today is the day!" Ethan exclaimed. "Our school is hosting a special program called 'Kids in Medicine."

"Kids in Medicine? What's that?" Lily asked, her interest piqued.

"It's a program that allows us to explore different careers in healthcare," Ethan explained. "There's going to be a career fair, a mentorship program, and even challenges to help us find out about careers in healthcare."

That morning, each class was called to the school's gymnasium. Overnight it had been transformed into a maze of booths, each one representing a different healthcare profession.

zBook Challenge

With curious minds, Lily and Ethan ventured forth, exploring each booth with a sense of wonder. But it soon became apparent that this fair was not just about gathering information. Each booth offered a challenge, a problem that needed to be solved to move on to the next career.

The friends eagerly dove into the task at hand. They listened intently, absorbing the knowledge shared by the professionals before them, and applying it to the challenges they were faced with. Each solution they found unlocked a new understanding, leading them deeper into the world of medicine.

The next stop on their field trip was an agricultural engineering workshop, where they met Mr. Ramirez, an agricultural engineer. Mr. Ramirez introduced the students to the world of machinery and equipment used in farming. The students marveled at the sight of tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems. Mr. Ramirez explained how these machines were designed to increase efficiency and productivity in the agricultural sector. Unfortunately, while the students were in the shop, a tractor had broken in the process of cultivating the land. Mr. Ramirez had to get to work to examine and repair the tractor. The students realized that agricultural engineers played a vital role in making farming more sustainable and effective.
