Day One | Monday, July 6 | Dental
Students will have the opportunity for hands-on learning experiences with dental techniques using patient simulators in a clinical setting. They will get to try their hand at tasks like taking alginate impressions, pouring and trimming stone dental models, evaluating dental radiographs, good oral hygiene, taking and recording medical and dental histories, dental charting and so much more! Beyond that, students will explore different careers within the dental field, discovering the unique responsibilities of each member of the dental team. Fun activities will also highlight the importance of teamwork and how to handle conflicts effectively.

Day Two | Tuesday, July 7 | Nursing
Get ready for an exhilarating experience in our nursing simulation lab, where students will dive into various nursing skills! They'll practice using a stethoscope to assess lung and heart sounds, familiarize themselves with vital signs and medications, learn to address various patient needs, and master the art of taking and documenting medical histories, among other valuable skills. Additionally, students will have the chance to explore careers in the nursing field, uncovering the responsibilities needed for success. And that's not all – students will be involved in class discussions that will ignite critical thinking skills, essential in the fast-paced world of nursing!
