Southwestern College Allied Health Camp,
|
Local hospitals and health agencies teamed with Southwestern College to
provide an unusual summer opportunity for high school students interested in
health careers. Hospitals and agencies sponsered the students as they
attended Allied Health Camp at the Winfield college June 20-25.
|
Organized by Southwestern nursing students, the camp included career
planning and skills training, building team and leadership skills through
group activities, and camp activities ranging from mural painting to a
cookout at the lake.
|
The camp focused on careers including nursing, medicine, pharmacology,
optometry, dentistry, social work, respiratory therapy, physical therapy,
dietary, and emergency care services."We're extremely pleased that the hospitals and agencies in the students' hometowns are working in partnership with Southwestern to provide this opportunity for high school students," says Susan Bumsted, associate professor of nursing. "The combination of encouragement from their homes and opportunity at the college will be a real boost for someone interested in a health care career." |
