Since the coronavirus pandemic, Baxter Health has been partnering with area high schools to give students hands-on experience in simulated medical scenarios. The White Coat Program has a specially-built education wing in the hospital.
Baxter Health Director of Education Sarah Brozynski was a recent guest of the Talk of the Town on KTLO-FM, and she says the program is a fast track to demonstrate what it’s like to be a healthcare professional.
Listen:
The education wing was constructed courtesy of a donation of the hospital’s Ed and Gayle Goodman Simulation Center. It houses a semester-long course featuring various healthcare professions twice a week. The wing includes four rooms set up as patient rooms and another as an operating room.
Brozynski says the program provides realistic simulations with three life-like, high-fidelity mannequins that bleed and talk.

Brozysnki goes on to discuss the need for the White Coat Program when considering the growing healthcare career opportunities in the Twin Lakes Area.
