Health in Partnership with Education (HIPE) Week

March 11-15, 2013 is Health in Partnership with Education (HIPE) Week in North Dakota!

Teachers and health care providers – team up to promote health careers! In 2012, seven of the ten fastest growing professions will be in health care, so educating students about the opportunities that exist in the diverse field of health care is critical. Regardless of what grade or subject you teach or what kind of health care facility you work at, incorporate health careers into the week of March 11-15.

Implement some activities during HIPE Week and let us know how it went by e-mailing your comments to kylie.nissen@med.und.edu.
