Doc4aDay comes to WCGH

Students from Belfast Area High School, Islesboro Central School, Mt. View High School and Searsport High School recently took part in Doc4aDay. The program seeks to ignite interest in promising high school students who might not have considered a career in medicine. The teachers in the program are all medical students, residents or simulation center specialists. They lead the students in simulated patient scenarios utilizing a mannequin and in hands-on activities in a skills lab, such as taking vital signs. Above, students practice their suturing skills.
