GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — West Ottawa Hill School students visited Spectrum Health's Medical Mile campus Monday to get an in-person look at what it's like to work in health care.
"I'm thinking of going pre-med in college, so I think it's a really great to kind of explore what might lie ahead for me and understand what goes on in a hospital," senior Alex Ky said.
He was among about 25 students with an interest in health care who got hands-on training.
"They're going to have the opportunity to learn how to suture. They're going to learn CPR skills," Dr. Robert Cuff said.
Students also used ultrasound machines and learned to work with patients with vein problems.
West Ottawa senior Mia Patchin, who wants to go into pediatrics, said the trip gave her some practical experience in the field she's interested in.
