Our Junior Health Careers students spent Tuesday diving deep into the world of surgical care 🏥✨
They explored sterile technique, surgical PPE, autoclave sterilization, scrubbing in, and suctioning — all essential skills for keeping patients safe in the OR. 🧼🧤🩺
Students also learned about the many specialized medical pathways that make surgical care possible, including CRNAs, Surgical Technicians, Scrub Nurses, Biomedical Engineers, and more! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🔬
So many skilled professionals working together for one goal: the best patient care.

Great collaboration between the two programs!
