📚 Intro to Healthcare Spotlight! Today our class dove into one of the most important foundations of patient care — vital signs. 💉💗 Students practiced in different stations then learned how to document everything accurately.✔️📄These skills are essential for keeping patients safe & communicating clearly with the healthcare team.👏 #loveservecare #HealthcareSkills

🧠🔬 Future scientists in action! Our Medical Detectives students took their learning to the next level today with a hands-on sheep brain dissection. After weeks of exploring how the brain works, they finally got to see its structures up close. Seeing their excitement as classroom concepts came to life was incredible. Moments like these spark curiosity, build confidence, & inspire the next generation of medical professionals. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️#MedicalDetectives #PLTW #HandsOnLearning
