2013-2014 President's Report

Teaching & Learning

Area high school students who attended East Central Community College’s Healthfest not only received information on the college’s health-related programs, but learned what to expect in actual medical emergencies while observing simulated exercises in each area. In the above photo, surgical technology students “perform an operation” on a “wreck victim” while program director/instructor LeAnn Shirley and others observe the procedure.

More than 300 high school students from ECCC’s five-county district attended the inaugural event held Nov. 8, 2013, at the Phil A. Sutphin Associate Degree Nursing/Child Care Technology Building on the Decatur campus.

Healthcare programs include associate degree nursing, practical nursing, surgical technology, emergency medical technology and paramedic.
