Patterson’s innovative teaching idea, “New Health Science Program,” is focused on educating students in all aspects of the healthcare field, to develop and inspire future jobs in a medical-based field. The program will consist of three different classes and a senior internship, made up of Foundations of Health, Therapeutics, and Medical Interventions. The equipment provided with this grant is funding more than a curriculum and daily classroom activities – it is building potential doctors, nurses, EMTs and pharmacists who could make a significant difference in the medical world one day. Patterson believes this will open up new doors and introduce many new ideas to students who may not have known they were interested in the medical field.
