Looking
for a career in the Health Care field?
GRTS's
Health Services Technology Program might be what you are looking for!
 Jobs
in the health care services industry are in greater demand than ever
before. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that, by the year 2010,
health services employment is projected to increase to 13,000,000.
That's over 2.8 million new jobs!
Job
opportunities abound for nursing aides and assistants in response to
an increasing emphasis on rehabilitation and the long-term care needs
of an increasing elderly population. In fact, the Department of Labor
projects that the increased demand for health care services, led by
the growing proportion of the elderly population, is expected to
continue for a full 50 years!
Modern
medical technology will also increase the employment of nursing aides,
because as technology saves and extends more lives, it increases the
need for long-term care.

Grand River Technical School Health Science Technology students are learning about infection control. Infection control is especially important this time of the year with the flu season approaching upon us fast. Students under the instruction of Sonja Daley and April Suddith are learning the importance of
hand washing and the appropriate techniques for personal protective equipment. Students are learning how to apply gloves, gowns and masks.
Students are currently going to clinical rotations with multiple business partners in about 30 different clinical areas in the Chillicothe area. The local health professions have been very supportive of providing the students in the Health Science Technology program with great opportunities for observation and hands on learning experiences. Infection control is one of the basic steps and necessity in the health care field. |
