Rotation Blogs 1

Every week after visiting a unit, we were required

to blog about our experiences while on rotation. We had to

carefully observe HIPPA regulations, while being

as informative as possible. We would then comment on two other students’ blogs, so that

we could learn from their experiences as

well.

As a student in the St. Gianna Catholic Health Academy, I had access to many exclusive opportunities. For this reason, it was absolutely imperative to recognize the generosity of others by writing thank you letters – both creative and professional – and baking cookies for each unit

Biomedical engineers combine knowledge from a variety of disciplines, including biology, medicine, and engineering fields—most notably electrical and mechanical.

They conduct a copious amount of research to develop medical technologies and information systems ranging from MRI machines to artificial limbs and organs.

I find this field particularly intriguing because it accentuates my strong background in mathematics and problem-solving, while also entertaining my interests in the sciences of biology, medicine, and physics.

Notre Dame

One afternoon Health Academy students had the opportunity to visit the Newman University Cadaver Laboratory

It was an excellent experience, as it gave me a more tangible perspective of the material we had been learning

CPR We participated in a

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course at Via Christi St. Francis

We learned the proper procedures through a workbook, and by practicing on dummies

After successfully completing the course, I am now CPR certified

Hygiene Presentations In an effort to give back

to the community, Health Academy students gave hygiene presentations to elementary school students

The presentations covered hand washing and dental hygiene

We dressed up in costumes, performed skits, sang songs, and utilized a variety of props to make our presentations interesting and informative

Medical EquipmentWe learned how to properly test and use the following: Stethescope Blood Pressure Pulse Reflexes Respiratory System Vision

Medical Terminology Health Academy

students enrolled in a Medical Terminology course through Newman University

This allowed us to better understand the language used on rotations

Gives us a solid base in anatomy and terminology heading into college

Next fall, I will be attending the University of Notre Dame

Although I am still determining my major, one strong option Notre Dame has to offer is their medical program
