EMT JSCC by Lindsay Skidmore (lskidmore)
Kenansville, NC - On November 26, Health Sciences Academy students from all five Duplin County high schools attended the Hands-On Heroes Interactive Experience at James Sprunt Community College, immersing themselves in the exciting world of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
The event introduced students to JSCC’s EMT program, showcasing how EMT certification can pave the way to immediate employment or serve as a stepping stone for careers in nursing, physician assistant programs, or medical school.
Students rotated through five engaging simulation stations, including Airway Management, CPR, Hemorrhage Control, Ambulance Simulation, and Splinting. These hands-on activities offered students a chance to develop practical skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the vital role EMTs play in saving lives.
This interactive experience not only provided valuable exposure to emergency healthcare careers but also inspired students to pursue pathways that make a real difference in their communities.
