Orientation Events: June 24th and 25th
2019 Project Success student interns kicked off their summer by learning about the field of pathology and interacting with mannequins at the STRATUS center. Dr. Robert Padera, a pathologist and researcher at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and his team joined them during their orientation to give hands-on exposure to human pathology. Student interns interacted with different human organs, diseased and healthy, such as hearts, livers, and lungs. They learned about the effects that alcoholism, tobacco addiction, and an unhealthy diet has on our body.
Roles were switch the next day when the student interns visited the STRATUS center at the Brigham. Simulation specialist, Patrick Sargent, and his team led an interactive tour where student interns were able to resuscitate and intubate a patient mannequin. They also prepped for surgery as they learned the ins and outs of an operation room. It was a memorable experience, motivating these students to continue their path to a health care career in either medicine or research.
