🩺📚 Medical Skills in Action! 📚🩺
Our Medical Skills Juniors put their knowledge to the test with a creative A–Z Body Systems Challenge!
Students were tasked with creating a patient and working their way through the alphabet to identify a different body part for each letter. Once their patient was complete, each team selected one body part and diagnosed their patient with a condition related to that body system.
Students then discussed the signs and symptoms a PCT/CNA would observe and monitor when caring for a patient with that condition—connecting classroom knowledge to real-world patient care!
Congratulations to Patient Billy Bob’s team, which was the first to identify all of their alphabetical body parts! 🎉👏
What a fun way to combine teamwork, anatomy, critical thinking, and patient-care skills!
