Job Shadowing' Program gets student ready for work world By Laura Kimball Feature Editor Last year she was a pharmacist for a day, this year a physical therapist. Rebecca Irving, an 11th grader at South Brunswick High School, is planning her future by shadowing people in professions she might like to pursue. “The job shadowing program lets students see if they want to do ; something and if they like it,” Irving said. “This way they don’t waste time and money with something they don’t like.” Job shadowing is a program orga nized by the Brunswick County JobReady Partnership and the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce. The pro gram is designed to provide students with a chance to explore different careers by working with profession als in a field of their choice. The professions that students explored this year were varied, liheMdNeillCo 410 Yaupon Dr., Yaupon Beach 278-7276 ew & Used Furniture! Same Day Delive: ay Deliveiy!

She spent a shadowing day last year at a CVS drugstore, helping the pharmacists fill prescriptions. On Monday she spent the day with physical therapists at Dosher Memorial Hospital in Southport. She started her day trying out the equipment that’s used on patients so she can know how it feels. Gene DesLauriers, director of physical therapy at Dosher, intro duced her to the electrical stimula tion device, which uses an electrical current to contract and move mus cles, helping patients regain strength. Irving watched while her lower arm rose from the table involuntari ly as her muscles contracted. When DesLauriers applied the electrical current to her hand, forcing her to make a fist, he told her to try to open her hand so she would feel the resis tance that a stroke victim, for exam ple, might feel when trying to move. fi~' Within an hour, Irving had watched DesLauriers work with patients and learned how to take a patient’s blood pressure. DesLauriers has had other poten tial physical therapists spend time in the department for the same reason Irving did, though not necessarily with the shadowing program. He thinks it’s a great idea because it can save students a lot of time and money. In fact, he started out studying chemistry but discovered physical therapy when his father underwent treatment. Though he wasn’t shad owing, he learned quickly what it was all about and decided that was what he wanted to do, he said." ' “I like the shadowing program because the students get exposure to other disciplines without just look ing at a brochure about a program,” he said. “I wish I’d had a chance to do it.” As for Irving, she still has a year to decide what direction she will take, but whatever it is, she’ll know what she’s getting into. cViews On Cental Health Larry Hemby, D.D.S. LITTLE LEAGUE FACE INJURIES w .M.uvu ai lCIIgUl aoout how effective mouthguards are in protecting the athlete from lip, tongue and teeth injuries when participating in contact sports However, mouthguards alone may not be enough. One recent study linked baseball as the leading cause of mouth, head and face injuries among the 5 to 14 year old little league set. An article in Pediatric Dentristy advocates the use of face shields as the best way to preventing the more than 50,000 head and facial injuries. Realizing that most little league games are played on hard dirt fields with balls being pitched at 60 to 70 miles per hour, the authors recommended that face shields oe usea as a way 10 reauce injuries. One type of shield, made from molded, clear plastic snaps onto the ear covers of batting helmets. Another made from wire, fits over the face like a catcher's mask. While the kids may not think they're macho, dentist are raving about them. Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health.
