A group of 60 Unit 4 AVID students recently participated in the 3rd Annual Doctor for a Day at the University of Illinois College of Medicine.
Dr. Greg Polites, the Executive Vice Dean of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, and others from his team showed students proper medical techniques and talked about some of the expectations of attending medical school and opportunities in the healthcare field. Other doctors also led demonstrations and answered student questions. The students were able to experience hands-on activities such as intubation, CPR and virtual dissecting.
Happy School Nurse Day! Today, we recognize the compassionate, skilled professionals who care for our students’ health and well-being every day. Thank you to all Unit 4 school nurses for the vital role you play in keeping our school communities safe and healthy!
