The students heard from Stephanie Montgomery, MD, Vice Chair of Surgery and Chief of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery; Patrick Gauthier, EMS Manager and paramedic; Rachel Collett, RN, Trauma Performance Improvement Nurse, who also serves as an EMT and firefighter; and Jillian Noli, Occupational Therapist. Students were able to ask questions and gain insight into how to pursue a career in healthcare.
