| Getting info on heart rate rhythms (and the legs are not real!). |
May 29 saw our grade 11 Biology class take part in our first ever health experience day. Our students circulated around town. At the Memorial Hall, they received information on concussions; how they occur, diagnostic tools and many other relevant pieces of information. At Carman Pharmacy, the students took part in some hands on activities with determining safe medications and pill packaging among other things. At the hospital, our students heard from Blood Services, explored imaging systems in the lab, and had the opportunity to experience what a patient with Alzheimer's may experience. In the afternoon, students had a presentation on nutrition and selling practices by food stores, followed by them cooking up some healthy meals. The day also had a focus on possible jobs in the health fields. A great day with our first ever Health Experience Day. Many thanks to our many organizers, Carman Pharmacy, and the staff at the Carman Hospital.
