Inspiring the Health Professionals of Tomorrow

The staff of the Carilion Sim Center and Emergency Services participated in the Roanoke Valley's Career Quest, where area 7th graders were introduced to local businesses and professions. The kids had a blast using the Laparoscopic Fundamentals trainer, learning about taking vitals from our juvenile manakin, Hal Jr, and the "stop the bleed" program. Hopefully we inspired some of tomorrow's health care professionals to enter medicine (and come back to work for Carilion!). Special thanks to Amanda Anderson, Adam Baber, Robert Hedge, and Julie Morris (as well as our Emergency Services friends, not pictured).
