Health in Partnership with Education (HIPE) Week
March 22-27, 2010
Governor Hoeven has proclaimed March 22-27, 2010, Health in Partnership with Education (HIPE) Week in North Dakota. See the proclamation here.
Teachers and health care providers – team up to promote health careers! By 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 22-27. Below are numerous career activities, posters, table tents, and other resources. Implement some activities during HIPE Week and let us know how it went by e-mailing your comments to knissen@medicine.nodak.edu
