Chesapeake College’s Health Professions

We’ll take a guided tour of the College’s state-of-the-art facilities and see their simulation labs and learning spaces – some of the best on the East Coast. 

From nurses to paramedics, radiology technicians to dental assistants, come get a look behind the scenes at how we train many of the region’s health care workers. After our tour, enjoy lunch – compliments of the Chesapeake College Foundation – and participate in a moderated discussion about the joys and challenges of educating those who take care of us all.
