At the Scotland County Rotary Club meeting in Memphis today, Tara Shultz, Scotland County Hospital's (SCH) Med Club Coordinator, presented a program discussing the high school Med Club program and the recently added CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program offered at SCH. Clark County and Scotland County High Schools currently have active Med Club chapters. CCHS, SCHS and students from other area high schools, as well as homeschooled students, are able to participate in activities, attend field trips, hear presentations, and career shadow at SCH as well as the 4 rural health clinics. SCH currently has 8 students navigating the new CNA program that began January 19th. Students will be learning in a lab and classroom setting and then begin clinical exercises next week. These skills include assisting patients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming and eating. They also assist with mobility and positioning to ensure patient comfort and safety. Monitoring health and clear communication are also skills learned through the program. She also discussed upcoming events in February and March for students and teachers; virtual Health Care Career Day, Health Educator Conference and a Mystery Diagnosis & Dissection event.
