HCAP gives UNCP students1 hands-on look at health careers \ PEMBROKE-"During a routine patient transport, I watched a man take his last breath," said Denita Lo\ver>. a senior biology major at UNC Pembroke. "It felt like something grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. I turned pale as a ghost." Instead of shaking Ms. Lowery's interest in a health care career, the experience reinforced it. "I can do it," she said Ms. Lowerv. who spent six weeks at Southeastern Regional medical ( entet. was one of eight UNC Pembroke students who were immersed into the nitty gritty world of rural health care this summer through the Health Career Access Program (HCAP)at UNCP. Although death bed scenes are not part of the curriculum, the HCAP interns observed everything from the tontine medical procedures like CAT scans to the removal of a two-inch cockroach from a child's ear. I he seven-week program gives minoi it) students a hands-on look at . a w ide range of health care careers, this summer students did clinical internships in physical therapy, speech patholog). nursing, drug and alcohol counseling and general medicine. In presentations to their fellow in-, terns at the conclusion of the program. most admitted to occasional uncomfortable moments, but said the internships reinforced their goals to become health care providers. Octavius Locklear, a senior biomedical major who wants to become a surgeon, said the program gave him valuable insight into the demands of a medical career. "There wasn't one part of my internship that wasn't enjoyable and informative," he said. "For me, it confinned that the medical field is what I want to do." For Sara Griffin, a senior biology major, said it was helping people that inspired her. "I got to help do some simple exercises with patients," she said of her physical therapy internship. "Just to see those patients impressed and inspired me because I was able to make their lives better." And that is the point of UNCP's HCAP program, according to Director Sylvia Johnson. "It is unique opportunity for highly qualified students to take a close up view of a variety of health care professions,"Ms. Johnson said. "They receive real life training and exposure to professionals who are role models and mentors. The interns, who are paid a minimum wage stipend, spend their first week on campus in an orientation and enrichment program. The clinical internship program is available to UNCP students beginning their second year. HCAP provides advisement, and exposure to educational can career opportunities through forums and 1 seminars. One of the most important ( components of the program is the M summer internships. % "All of our internship experiences M were positive this summer, but even if \ they don't like what they see , they w have the opportunity to make new 1 plans at an early stage in their educa- 1 tion," she said. 1 HCAP is a state supported m interinstitutional program of UNCP.
