Career Exploration
Representatives from MedStar Union Memorial Hospital spoke as part of the Job Readiness Seminar today. Presenters included Mitchell Herbert, Regional Director of Strategic and Business Planning along with Kenny Foster, from security; Allison Hammerbacher, from radiology; and Marlon Davis from housekeeping. They each talked about their jobs as well as their career paths and lessons learned along the way. Facilitating the presentation were Dr. George Tilson and Peggy Lashbrook, the leaders of our Job Readiness Seminar series. This was a followup to a visit that the students had with MedStar President Brad Chambers last May where he spoke about the many kinds of jobs available at the hospital. Several students want to enter the medical field and others saw opportunities for careers in operations.
