MedEx Academy

04/07/2026

We are so excited to congratulate the students of Richland One for their completion of Prisma Health Systems MedEx Academy Tier I Clinical and Ancillary Shadowing Experience. Students from CA Johnson and Lower Richland High School got hands on experience across 4 different units that helped them identify what path into healthcare they wanted to take and solidify for them that their dreams and aspirations are possible.

On behalf of Prisma Health Systems’ MedEx Academy, we are grateful for Mr. Jeremy Goldsmith’s, our keynote speaker, words of wisdom to the everyone in attendance at the inaugural Tier I Clinical and Ancillary Shadowing Experience graduation ceremony.

A can apply to all areas of life and at any age. Thank you for inspiring us to finish the race and not be overwhelmed by the obstacles in the way. If we take it one day at a time or one trial at a time we become witnesses that each trials will morph into testimonies and joy really does come in the morning.

One of the frequent questions we get is are there other opportunities or programs outside of MedEx that can give you good exposure or insight into the medical field. So we’ve delivered.

Is this helpful? Should we continue doing this?

As the holidays approach, many are carrying silent burdens behind practiced smiles.
Whether home brings comfort or complicated emotions, your experience is valid.

“Mild” doesn’t mean “minor.”
Your feelings matter. You matter.
Let’s move through this season with grace and kindness — for ourselves and for each other.
