The component of a Career Academy that sets it apart of other courses is the work-place component. The Health Science class was set up to include short monthly field trips to health care facilities so students can see what the different jobs are like.
Last week, the class went to St. Francis Hospital. Anna Berg arranged for each of the four students to visit a different area: physical therapy, radiology, the med. tech lab, and occupational therapy. Next month the students will rotate to a different area. Health science is 1st period, so the students only miss their second period class. We appreciate St. Francis Hospital and Anna for taking the time to help us get the Health Science Academy off to a good start. We hope to grow this program in the next few years.
Tomorrow the students will be gone all day to visit the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha.
