Students stepped into the world of health care at the GIV Health & Medicine Institute! They learned clinical skills like assessing patients, medical emergency response, and communicating effectively. Hands-on activities, scenario-based learning, and case discussions lead to CPR, First Aid, and Vermont Emergency First Responder (VEFR) Certifications.
This cutting-edge Institute is a partnership between the Governor’s Institutes of Vermont and the Northern Vermont Area Health Education Center (AHEC).
“The institute provided a strong baseline for my content knowledge. The CPR and Stop the Bleed, splinting, and how to administer Narcan are also very helpful skills that can be used in my daily life.”
