Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) hosted a career day for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, including Computer Science (STEM/CS) Portsmouth School System (PSS) high school students, March 15.
Twenty-one 11th and 12th grade students and two teachers from Portsmouth’s Manor, Churchland, and I.C. Norcom high schools visited NMCP to hear from doctors, nurses and specialized corpsmen about their
education, training and day-to-day life at NMCP.
“It is very important to host events like this to expose the children to different career and educational paths,” said LCDR Abiola Babawale, NMCP’s STEM physician lead. “It is also a great opportunity to shed a light on the many medical fields represented here at NMCP.”
As the U.S. Navy's oldest, continuously-operating military hospital since 1830, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth proudly serves past and present military members and their families. The nationally-acclaimed, state-of-the-art medical center, along with the area's 10 Branch Health and TRICARE Prime Clinics, provide care for the Hampton Roads area. The medical center also supports premier research and teaching programs designed to prepare new doctors, nurses and hospital corpsman for future roles in healing and wellness.
