On Thursday, May 3, 16 students from Calhoun High School, Sonoraville High School, Gordon Central High School, and Georgia-Cumberland Academy attended the Gordon Hospital Surgical Outreach Program for students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare.
Gordon Hospitals urologic oncologist and Director of Robotic Surgery Hak Lee, MD; Director of Surgical Services Vernon Gipson, RN; Robotic Clinical Coordinator Sharon Bass, RN; and the remainder of the robotic surgical team devoted an entire day to training students to develop basic suturing skills, laparoscopic surgical skills, da Vinci robotic skills, and endoscopic urological techniques.
This program gives students the opportunity to be exposed to something new, said Dr. Lee. We want to show students what steps they need to take to have a career in this field, so they can make plans with their guidance counselors and make decisions about college.
