Our Health Science students got a firsthand look at how clean their hands actually are. Using "Glo-Germ" to simulate hidden pathogens, they put their skills to the test and mastered the exact aseptic hand-washing techniques recommended by the CDC.

Safe to say, our future healthcare professionals passed the glow test!

They brought the perfect amount of energy to the green and proved that their swing is just as sharp as their medical skills. We had an absolute blast working on teamwork, sharing laughs, and making healthy connections outside the classroom!

Friday night lights offered an incredible, hands-on learning experience for two of our CCCTC Sports Medicine students!

They received a front-row look at what real-time, gametime medical care for athletes truly looks like.

A BIG thank you to Reid Draper, DPT, for dedicating his time and providing such a valuable mentorship opportunity for our students!
