Our noted children’s author, Obed Figueroa, will participate in a virtual reading event arranged by Pawling Library on the 3rd of October. The session will be broadcasted live on Zoom at 2 pm. The author will do a reading of his book, Marcus Learns About the Different Types of Doctors. He will also play a game with the kids where he will show them doctors’ tools and see if the kids can guess which doctor uses these tools.   Marcus Learns About the Different Types of Doctors is an educational yet entertaining story of a young second grader, Marcus, who is interested in becoming a doctor. He wants to know about doctors and how they help people. Her grandmother takes him to a local community health centre and introduces him to a variety of healthcare professionals.   Obed is a columnist and his peer-reviewed research publications in diversity, management and sustainability can be found at Medical Education Online, the Journal of Management and Sustainability and the Journal of International Research. A leader in education, he has influenced primary education schools to graduate medical education. He has helped to establish new schools, conducted workshops and academic programs and led minority-focused initiatives at different universities.
