MIKE Program is a public health initiative, promoting healthy behaviors and chronic disease prevention techniques in support of youth in academic settings. Mike Program partners with educational institutions to engage near-age, early career health and healthcare professionals who serve as volunteer mentors for teens at higher risk of developing chronic diseases. We especially work with communities with higher rates of adverse health outcomes.To that end, we need your help within our mentored health education program. One of the primary goals of that program is to introduce students to healthcare career opportunities. We want to showcase a variety of healthcare careers, not only those working in hospitals as a doctor or nurse, for example. Tech/ STEM in healthcare is an area that we'd like to feature with MIKE Youth. That is where you come in.
Our programming is entirely online at the moment. With that in mind, Intel volunteers could host a 5-minute online presentation about ways your organization provides technology for healthcare. What are some of the latest innovations? How are they changing healthcare delivery? A 5-minute Q&A session would follow. We are open to other ideas as well, but the general role would be the same.
