Windsor students learn different jobs in medical field
WINDSOR, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – UHS workers from a variety of departments were at Windsor High School, giving students hands-on practice with different jobs in the medical field.
UHS personnel set up five stations throughout the school for the students to rotate through. Including lab services, nurse education, respiratory therapy, medical technology, and surgical techs.
With the surgeons, students got to perform a mock surgery on someone's stomach, while another station included a breathing pig lung. One senior, Leigha Bloom, is looking to become a prenatal nurse and was accepted into the nursing program at SUNY Broome.
'Cause there's just so many different fields. So, if somebody was looking to go into health care and didn't know exactly what they wanted to do, today really let you know all these different options that you really do have. It's not just the one's that are most popular like nursing or being a doctor. There's so many more opportunities for everybody else to have,' Bloom said.
At each station, the UHS workers described their jobs and the required schooling. Students also got to try on scrubs and get dressed as if they were going to perform a surgery.
