Future Healers of America
The Future Healers of America is a Queens College Student Association club where its officers work with the Office of Health Professions to identify and invite speakers to campus. The speakers are health professional providers or administrators who have information regarding the application process for the health professional institution which they represent. The Officers of FHA take an active role in identifying speakers, scheduling the events, and arranging the meeting room setup. Students interested in attending any of these speaker sessions during campus free hour – Monday and Wednesday 12:15 – 1:30 pm, during the semester when classes are in session should contact the FHA officers through e-mail.
