Nineteen 11th- and 12th-graders from throughout Nebraska participated Aug. 4-7 in the Summer Health Professions Career Workshop at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

\u201cIt is always a pleasure having the Summer Health Professions Career Workshop students on campus,\u201d said Lisa Jewell, director of the UNMC Youth Learning Center. \u201cWe had a wonderful group of students this year. They came in each morning ready and excited to learn new things.\u201d

Students participated in several hands-on activities during the workshop, highlights included: tying basic surgical knots, identifying organisms growing in pond water, distinguishing heart and breath sounds on an instructional mannequin, observing how the blood donation process works, and exploring what a patient experiences in the Hyperbaric Chamber.

At the end of the workshop, students were required to research a health career-related topic and then compose a short paper. Students presented their findings to their peers and UNMC staff on the final day of the program.

\u201cResearching and writing these papers gives the students an opportunity to self-reflect, review what they learned, discover what areas of health sciences or health careers they might be interested in, and ultimately, assists them as they plan for their future,\u201d Jewell said.

UNMC nursing students Joy Chapman and LeeAnn Vontz chaperoned the students during the week of the workshop.

Students who participated in the workshop include:
Burwell \u2013 Lilly Walford
Gordon \u2013 Alicia Lukassen
Juniata \u2013 Rachel Karr and Brooke Robinson
Kearney \u2013 Melissa Miller
Lexington \u2013 Sarah Seberger
Lincoln \u2013 Libby Fischer, Micaela Meza, Anne Peetz, Carly Peetz and Steph Sutton
Madison \u2013 Lori Oswald
Newman Grove \u2013 Cody Benson
North Platte \u2013 Jill Hassel
Ogallala \u2013 Sam Acker
Ord \u2013 Andy Dennis
Riverdale \u2013 Burke Wilson
