Fifty high school students learned lifesaving skills and explored careers in healthcare during the Wright State University x Premier Health Nursing Camp. 🩺🫀

The first two days of the camp took place at Wright State, where students received training in HeartSaver CPR, AED use, “Stop the Bleed” and recovery-position techniques. Participants worked through a patient care simulation, using Wright State’s state-of-the-art mannequins, which can speak, simulate breathing and mimic heart sounds and pulses to provide realistic training scenarios.

The third day of the camp took place at Premier Health’s Miami Valley Hospital, where students toured the campus and attended seminars on social work, home health nursing and other healthcare career opportunities.

“They have an opportunity now with the experience that they’ve learned here to maybe save a life one day,” said Kristina Kontos, a junior nursing student at Wright State who assisted with the camp.

Two trainees from the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine are advancing to highly competitive ear, nose and throat (ENT) programs, reflecting both individual achievement and the strength of the school’s longstanding partnership with Premier Health.

Mac Kenzie Reece, D.O., a general surgery resident, matched into a head and neck endocrine surgery fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Mass Eye and Ear center, part of Harvard Medical School.

Omar Zayed, M.D., a Wright State medical student who graduated this spring, matched into an otolaryngology, or ENT, residency at Case Western Reserve University.

The placements are among the most competitive in medicine. There are only four head and neck endocrine surgery fellowship programs in the country, each offering a single position. ENT residency slots are similarly scarce, drawing large pools of applicants for a limited number of spots each year.

That a Wright State resident and medical student both landed placements speaks to something more than individual achievement.
