More than 300 HOSA students tour 糖心视频 Health Science programs

Hanceville, AL 鈥� 糖心视频 welcomed more than 300 high school students from Blount, Cullman and Walker County HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) programs. The students spent about two hours learning about health science programs offered by the college and were able to meet instructors, experiment with equipment and ask questions.  

For seniors like Esmarelda Rodriguez and Raigan Easterwood of Cullman Area Technology Academy (CATA), the tour offered an opportunity for them to get a better understanding of what type of healthcare career they want to pursue.  

鈥淚 came here today to narrow down what I want to do as a healthcare professional,鈥� said Easterwood of West Point. 鈥淏eing in this program and coming to Wallace really helps me figure out what I want to do. Do I want to provide patient care? Do I want to be in the lab? It really helps me narrow down what I want to do the rest of my life.鈥� 

鈥淏eing able to go around to every program and see what everything is and what they have to offer, it definitely helps,鈥� said Rodriguez, of Good Hope.  

鈥淭he most wonderful thing about it is they get a little bit of exposure to every single career that is here and that are offered,鈥� said Adriann Basch, an instructor at CATA.  

鈥淲hat better way to learn about a career than do hands on,鈥� added CATA instructor Tracy Smith. 鈥淲e鈥檙e very grateful that Wallace has given our students the opportunity to go into these programs and do hands-on for each of them.鈥�
