Over 30 keen high school students were introduced careers in rural health care during an April 20 skills day at the Pincher Creek Health Centre.
Several of the student participants from Pincher Creek, Crowsnest Pass, and Lundbreck said their career goals were broadened and reinforced by having hands-on experience.

 “I loved being in the ambulance, and I love the thought of being the first people on site to help people,” said Sebastien Collins, a Grade 12 Matthew Halton High School student. “I’ve always wanted to be in a rural area because it’s such a needed area to have specialized people in.”

Meghan Tarcon said the day leaves her wanting to continue to pursue nursing as a career.
“I just liked all the hands on [experience], but mostly the suturing because I’ve never known how to do that before and it was really cool,” explained the Crowsnest Consolidated High School student.
