Shazam and we are now into November.
Students did a great job grabbing everyone’s attention as they walk into the building with their second community health bulletin boards which addressed Breast Cancer Awareness month as well as the important subject of bullying.
Most people know how breast cancer affects our female population, but not everyone realizes how important this subject is even for our younger population, male and female. HOYA II encourages everyone to do self breast exams.
Students completed their first case study with creativity as they researched and performed “surgery” on their pumpkin patients. We had 3 patients with different types of brain cancer, 1 with testicular cancer, 1 with gallbladder issues, 2 with heart disease, 1 with dementia, 1 with appendicitis, 1 with an embolism resulting in a stroke, and 1 with a cataract.
In November, we will be working on ethics in healthcare by looking at historical clinical research trials as well as discussing the Terri Schiavo case. We will also continue building our medical terminology foundation with the weekly 25 new medical terms word parts reviews and quizzes. In October the students made reviews via Blooket, Quizlet, and Kahoot.
