Medical health internships available for rising seniors
Students who are interested in the medical field have many pathways they can take in order to get to their end goal. One of the ways available to high school rising seniors is the Medical Health Professions Senior-only program partnership between BCTC, Reading Hospital Tower Health, and Penn State Berks. Mrs. Del Conte’s presentation on information about these programs states that they have “College-level education, training as a health care professional, and job Shadow experiences.” Some of these programs start at the beginning of the summer for those who want to get a head start, or students can start in the fall or spring semester. At Penn State Berks: there are Introduction to Bioethics, Chemistry Theory, and Chemistry Lab. At Reading Hospital School of Health Science: Medical Terminology, Anatomy & Diseases, Healthcare Systems, Trends, Professions, Technology, Ethics, healthcare skills – vital signs, isolation procedures, breath and bowel sounds, Basic Life Support for Healthcare Provider, and First Aid Certifications.
