The Student Prints

Three of NV’s brightest MedTech students are moving on to the HOSA National Leadership Conference this summer in Dallas, TX.

Juniors Mary Castor and Kevin Archambault and senior Savannah Sewell-Conley all qualified.

Castor and Archambault received third place in the Medical Innovation event and Sewell-Conley received second place in the Veterinary Science Health Professions event.

“It was a huge shock to both of us and I can’t believe our project was selected in the top three,” Castor said.

The Medical Innovation event allows students to create a medical device to make patients’ lives just a little bit easier. Castor and Archambault had the idea to create a watch that records vital signs and if anything is wrong, the device will let the healthcare worker/patient know immediately.

Sewell-Conley had the task of creating a presentation about a career in the veterinary field.

Over 10,000 HOSA members will attend the conference in June.
