For the second school holidays in a row the Health Hawke's Bay Primary Health Rangatahi Internship, E Hao, E Pao has given secondary students hands-on experience.
A group of nine high school students interested in the medical industry worked with local GPs and Māori health providers during the first week of the term two holidays.
The E Hao, E Pao internship is a pathway programme to inspire Year 12 and 13 rangatahi in hopes that the students who participate will consider future study and a career in primary health.
The internship ran for one week during the recent school holidays and if all goes well another programme will run for a week in the next holidays.
Registered nurse Ani Tomoana organised for the interns to attend a taster course with EIT clinical nursing and simulation skills facilitator Katherine McCrory and her EIT faculty of nursing staff at the start of their internship.
