“We have different speakers come in, we have different hands-on activities. They also get to see all the tools that they might use in a specific department such as the cultures for the laboratory or some of the medical equipment they use in the operating room,” said Esther Bard, Freeman Health System health care development specialist.
One of the activities was an obstacle relay race – designed to showcase physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Students got a better understanding of what it’s like as a patient who uses medical devices daily.
