This PKM activity includes initial preparation, delivery of material, counseling and motivating students of SMKN 3 Medan about professional health workers who are globally competitive at the national and international levels. In delivering the material, the PKM team explained that MLP Inkes organizes a quality teaching and learning process so that it has produced many professional health workers and places their graduates to work in health institutions, both in hospitals, health centers, and other health industries and sends graduates to work in abroad, such as in Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and so on.
