This week Dr. Ibarra highlighted HVMS and the Palomar field trip in "Every Student Weekly."
In EUSD, every child is an aspiring medical professional, thanks to the Middle School Medical Discoveries Program in partnership with Palomar Health. Every 8th-grader will participate in the program. Just last week, Hidden Valley 8th-graders broke into groups to take part in six workshops at Palomar Medical Center. Students learned how to support fractured bones; to control bleeding, including applying a tourniquet; how to support respiratory care, including using an incentive spirometer; tested Germ Glo and UV lighting for infection control; learned how to use an Automated External Defibrillator and CPR; and how to stabilize a patient. This is an incredible experience that provides a full day of hands-on instruction to promote health education and inspire career explorations in health care!
