Our Medical Assistant students had the opportunity to participate in Ignite Your Future, giving local high school students a hands-on glimpse into the exciting world of medical assisting!

Visitors had the chance to explore several interactive stations, including:

Vital Signs: Learning about blood pressure and even listening along using double-headed stethoscopes!

Vision & Color Testing: Trying out vision screenings and Ishihara color vision testing.

Hearing Screenings: Exploring how hearing is evaluated.

Phlebotomy: Getting a closer look at blood draws and checking out our vein finder, which was a huge hit!

Patient Care: Meeting our pediatric and adult manikins and seeing some of the technology used in our hands-on training.

We are so proud of our MA students for sharing their knowledge, demonstrating their skills, and representing our program!

Who knows? We may have inspired a few future Medical Assistants along the way!

Our Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy students have been mastering venipunctures - the technique of inserting a needle into a vein for blood collection - and capillary puncture, which involves pricking a finger to gather a small blood sample, using manikin arms. Now, they’re taking an exciting step forward by practicing this skill on real patients! This hands-on experience is a vital part of their education! 🩸💉

Our Phlebotomy and Medical Assistant students have been hard at work learning to perform EKGs!

An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a test that checks how your heart is working. It uses small sticky patches placed on your skin to measure the electrical activity of your heart. This allows a medical provider to see if your heart is beating normally and can help catch any irregularities or problems. It’s a quick and non-invasive way to get important information about your heart’s health! 🫀
