Deirdre, Kennedi and Mya are really enjoying their placement in the Cardiovascular Services Program at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

They are all part of the SHSM (Specialist High Skills Major) Health Care Program. Through this, they have taken several related health care and science courses along with corresponding certifications such as First Aid and CPR, Infection Control, Sterile Techniques and COVID-19 Training. This placement is the perfect experiential learning component to their SHSM designation.

We would like to thank Meaghan and Kelsee for this opportunity. Being in a hospital setting is so beneficial to our students hoping to pursue an education and career in this field.

Special thanks to TBRHSC’s Co-op Placement Preceptor and Regional Development Lead, Keli, for her amazing organization and planning! Keli has our students rotating through the Cardiovascular Science Program’s various departments: The stroke Unit, the Surgical Program, Rehabilitation, Leadership, Diagnostics (Echo, ECG, Holter Monitoring and Stress Testing), Wound Care, Regional Development, Stroke Network and the Continuum of Care Week. Our students are learning a lot in several different areas. We can’t thank you enough for your time and patience. This is an extraordinary partnership!

Thank you!
