Prep Students Participate in Disaster Drill
Med Tech Prep Students at Greenville Career Tech Center recently
participated in Wayne HealthCare's annual Disaster Drill. Emily Powers,
Med Tech Instructor stated, “The staff at the hospital were very
appreciative of our participation and said the students were in
character the whole time.”
During the annual disaster drill, students posed as patients for Wayne
Healthcare.
This year's disaster drill was a series of five explosions at Fifth
Third Field. Each student was given a scenario with various levels of
consciousness, vital signs and items for them to "complain about".
Students had to act out the scenario to emergency room staff.
The best part was that staff did not know the students were really
going to act it out.
Students learned how a disaster drill works and they also were able to
view and learn about the changes a hospital goes through when a real
life disaster takes place. Students also got a close up view of the
emergency room and the equipment. Additionally, students learned about
patient prioritization, and how nurses and doctors determine who they
see first in the emergency room.
