Vt Journal Reports on Advanced MedQuest Program for High School Students by Eaton & Bleau

July 14, 2023 by Lucy Gardner Carson

(JULY 14, 2023) Second-year medical students Jenna Eaton and Jake Bleau helped to create and implement a Southern Vermont Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Advanced MedQuest program at Rutland Regional Medical Center recently, according to The Vermont Journal.

Six high school students from southern Vermont spent five days immersed in activities like how to take blood pressures, start a peripheral IV, participate in a simulated Code Blue training exercise, spend time in a BOD POD to measure their body composition at Vermont State University Castleton Campus, and even observe how to safely administer Narcan when someone is overdosing. Having already taken the introductory MedQuest program last summer, these students were ready to navigate a more in-depth and accelerated health careers exploration experience. They were also exposed to various job shadows in pharmacy, orthopedics, physical therapy, behavioral health, and medical oncology.

This program was also covered in the (Killington, Vermont) Mountain Times.
