It was career day at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo recently as some 70 high school students from five local schools had a chance to talk with doctors and surgeons about the reality of working in the medical profession. The day’s highlight was the chance to actually operate a surgical robot.

The event was part of the hospital’s efforts to foster an interest in careers in science, technology, engineering and math, all applicable to the healthcare industry.
