Students Explore a Career in Rehabilitation Services

McDonough District Hospital Medical Explorers Program offers an opportunity for high school students to get hands-on experience as well as talk to medical professionals in various medical careers. Pictured left, Rachel Rutan, DPT, from MDH Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, shows a high school student, standing on a Bosu ball, how holding a 4 lb weighted ball and tossing it against a trampoline, can build core strength and improve balance.

MDH Medical Explorers meets throughout the school year. The Explorers will meet at 7:00 PM on Wednesdays, October 7 and 14 to learn about Radiology and Dentistry, respectively.
