BHS Academies Visit Mercy Medical Center for Shadow Day
Over 40 Baldwin High School students in the Medical and Global Business Career Academies participated in the 22nd Annual Mercy Medical Shadow Day on March 16. Baldwin has been the only high school with a dedicated shadow day with Mercy all these years. Baldwin students shadowed professionals in virtually every department of the medical center -- such as the recovery room, radiology, and biomedical engineering. Students witnessed an anesthesia emergency during delivery as well as assisted patients with their physical therapy and participated in a meeting discussing the purchase of earphones for the televisions in hospital rooms. In addition, the students had the opportunity to interact in an educational session for National Nutrition Month before sharing lunch with their mentors and discussing their shadow experiences.
