Healthcare Career Pathway
In partnership with Sullivan County Hospital, NEMO AHEC is offering rural high school students an exciting opportunity to discover various healthcare careers by touring a local hospital and engaging with health professionals. This hands-on experience allows students to interview nurses, therapists, lab technicians, and other healthcare workers, gaining firsthand insights into their responsibilities and career paths. Through these interactions, students can ask questions, learn about different specialties, and understand the educational requirements needed to pursue their desired careers. By connecting students with real-world experiences, the program aims to inspire and inform the next generation of healthcare leaders. This program will be held on the third Monday of each month.

Mystery Diagnosis & Dissection Day
NEMO AHEC is delighted to implement a brand new medical adventure program with “Mystery Diagnosis & Dissection Day,” offering a unique hands-on learning experience. Participants will work collaboratively, guided by experienced anatomy fellows from A.T. Still University (ATSU), to diagnose and treat a simulated patient presenting with a complex medical case. This immersive program blends diagnostic reasoning with anatomical exploration, allowing participants to delve into real-world medical scenarios. Through careful examination of patient symptoms, medical history, and simulated anatomical findings, teams will formulate diagnoses and propose treatment plans, fostering critical thinking and teamwork skills within a simulated clinical environment.
The diagnostic activity will end with a hands-on dissection. Using what they learned during the diagnostic process, the fellows will guide students through a dissection that relates directly to the disease they diagnosed. This exercise will show students the real-world connection between diagnosing a disease and how it actually affects the body.
