Sundre Health (SHPARC) Skills Day
The Sundre Health Professionals Attraction and Retention Committee (SHPARC) pulled off an incredible immersive experience filled with hands-on learning that left us all buzzing with excitement! Students had the unique opportunity to engage directly with professional health staff and dive into a day of skills exploration. We tackled thrilling activities like analyzing X-rays, drawing blood in the lab, and even working with an astounding $80,000 medical dummy to simulate cardiac scenarios!
Everyone got involved—taking turns suturing and trying their hand at dental clinic skills. We got a first-hand look at what happens inside an ambulance (EMS) and marveled at the “jaws of life” brought in by our local fire station! A big shoutout to Olds Co-Op for providing a delicious lunch to recharge us after all the excitement.
Students walked away with a wealth of potential career paths in the health sector, inspired and eager for what lies ahead. A huge thank you to SHPARC for organizing such an informative and exhilarating event. We can’t wait for next year! For more pictures visit our Gallery at our school website. #CESDCareerConnection
