Learning has never been sweeter! 🍬 Our Allied Health students got truly hands-on with the integumentary system, creating edible skin models to learn about its complex layers.
They built everything from the epidermis down to the hypodermis, proving that anatomy lessons can be both educational and delicious! What a fun way to bring the science of the human body to life! 👏

Hands-on healthcare exploration! 🩺 Our Health Science students recently had an incredible experience on their college tour at Galen College of Nursing!

Thank you to Galen College of Nursing for giving our Chargers this amazing, practical look at the post-secondary pathway in healthcare! 💙⚡️
