University City High Biomedical Seniors Present their Proposals to ER Staff

Seniors who have spent the last four years in the CTE Biomedical pathway at University City High School where given the opportunity to present their Emergency Room project/proposals to doctors and nurses who run ER centers at our local hospitals.  The goal of the project in the Biomedical Innovation course was to design an emergency department that takes efficient patient care to the next level.  Seniors worked in teams designing physical layouts, developing a new innovation and proposing appropriate staffing levels to achieve their goals.  The power of these projects comes from the feedback given by the panel of ER professionals who are in these facilities on a daily basis.  The seniors are now preparing to participate in hands-on work based learning internships that will take place at various local hospitals and clinics during the second semester.
