The Health Occupations class from the Clare-Gladwin Career
Center was given an informational tour at Mid Michigan Medical Center Midland this
month. The students visited a variety of units within the hospital, including intensive
care, the emergency room, labor and delivery, physical therapy and
rehabilitation, the morgue, and a detailed presentation in the Gamma Knife
area.
“I hope the students have a better idea of what options are
available to them in the health field, specifically in relation to a hospital,”
said Health Occupations Instructor Carrie Balcirak. “The experience allowed
them to see first-hand actual work environments and gave them the chance to ask
questions.”
Balcirak said the students were also given information
regarding job shadowing opportunities at the hospital. “It is my understanding
that the list of the professionals that students can observe is tremendous,
ranging from a surgeon, an emergency room doctor or nurse, an x-ray tech, and
so on. This is a very good opportunity for health occupations students to take
advantage of.”
Health Occupations is one of nine career and technical education
programs offered to local high school juniors and seniors at the Clare-Gladwin
Career Center, a program of the Clare-Gladwin RESD. Students spend half of
their regular school day in CTE and the other half at their local high school.
