Critical care is needed everywhere. Last week, 10th grade Phase 3 students learned about how critical care in the air and on the ground supports other healthcare providers and patient outcomes.

We were so excited to be hosted again by - Columbus-based nonprofit air and ground critical care organization, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transportation Systems (CAMTS). They complete thousands of patient transports every year!

Students engaged in small group exercises to showcase different aspects of the job of a critical care provider.

“We almost send a subliminal message to the kids, that we have become physicians and successfully created this career for ourselves. But also — you can do it, too.”

— Dr. Laura Espy-Bell, Founder,
Made for Medicine

We invite you to watch this video to learn more about our intention behind our program and our “why.”

🗣️ Say it with us:

If it is to be, it is up to me.

This is our motto. It is a mantra we repeat and hold dear, drawing inspiration and accountability to the actions that guide us to our desire goals.

⚕️Our 10th grade Phase 3 students recently learned more about healthy policy.

Led by Robin L. Blair-Ackison, who serves as an analyst for the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, students explored the impact of local, state and federal decisions on our communities.

They explored topics like mental health, food deserts and juvenile justice.

Having this knowledge about health equity prepares students to make connections in how doctors respond to their patients and to the changing landscape.
