Submitted by Oswego Health Oswego Hospital takes part in many local programs designed to encourage students to pursue careers in various aspects of healthcare. The program is open to juniors and seniors in nine Oswego County High Schools. Nutrition, human growth and development, infection control and computers systems in Healthcare are other subjects taught in the program. According to Giverson, an intense 10-week study of anatomy and physiology, incorporating medical terminology, follows in the second quarter. All students are required to become certified in community CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross.
Students choose their job shadowing rotations specific to their occupational interests.
This opportunity allows the students the ability to see first hand, what that particular profession entails. Job-shadowing rotations begin in the third quarter and continue for 15 weeks. It also is a great way for us to Oswego Hospital as a great place to work. For more information on Horizons to Health Careers contact Lori Giverson at 963-4246. Inc.
