Lee students visit Phoebe Sumter to learn about health careers

Dr. Kristin Collier, general surgeon at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, speaks to students from Lee County High School about her pathway to becoming a physician. More than 20 students visited Phoebe Sumter recently to gain exposure to health care careers. The students are part of the school’s Rural Health Pioneers program. Students got a first-hand look at different areas of the hospital and how they work together, and also heard from a variety of hospital staff and physicians about their roles at Phoebe Sumter. The Rural Health Pioneers program is part of HOSA-Future Health Professions, and gives students the opportunity for interactive, hands-on learning within the health care industry.
