Show 1 I Paye 1 4 - November 1 2. 2002 EDUCATION Uintah Basin Standard Dissection Hands-O- n & Tips for healthy holiday eating for people with Discussion Medical students talk to Basin teens interested in health careers By Angela Eddington University of I'tah School of Medicine students Aaron Brown a graduate of Union High. i Hyland, and Robin Day gave presentations to health classes at the UBATC on Thursday. Nov. K as part of a Utah Rural Outreach Program, designed to hopefully get high schtsil students in rural areaslhinkinguhoul a health career. The three continued on to Uintah High, then to Altamont and Duchesne High on Nov. 9 where they gave similar presentations. The Utah Rural Outreach Program is funded hy Pfizer and the Association of American Medical Colleges. Because of t tn huge shortage of certified health professionals throughout the stale and even nationwide, medical students (him the University of I'tah are given the chance to volunteer to visit high Ki-ll- schools in rural Utah. Because Brown is a Xcola native, he volunteered to show studcntsinlheBasinthatthey. ton. can make it to medical school. "I think it's just a mentality that kids have out here, that they can't go to medical school. It's neat to tell them that they can, he said. The medical students encouraged their listeners to get good grades, do well on the ACT. and find out what they really love to do. They described some of the 300 different careers in health care, showed appniximately how much money is earned in those careers, and encouraged the students to pursue a higher education, no matter what the cost. We like to introduce them to health careers as soon as possible because many health programs require good grades in high school, explained Carri? Torgerson, who works for a company called Area Health Education Center. Torgerson schedules with the schools a time for medical students to visit them, and has already scheduled a time for diabetes medical students to talk with Roosevelt Junior High students. "Rural places have a harder time recruiting doctors. It's more likely to get kids w ho grew up in rural areas to go back to rural places to work after school. she added. After a Power Point presentation, students were given a chance to look at and handle a cow heart while learning about it. which was the favorite part of the presentation for most students. "Weve never done anything this extreme. I like how we had a lesson, and then added the heart into it, so we didn't talk the whole time, said Kyle Einerson. Students also looked into each other's ears and eyes with medical instruments. WHAT DO YOU SEE- ?- These two students inspect each others ears as part ofa presentation by U of U medical students to health classes at the UBATC . The medical students volunteered to tra el to all the high schools in the Uintah Basin to get students to consider careers in health care. Many Americans come face to face with temptation this time of year as they attend parties and family gatherings. Holiday cookies, cakes, candy and treats abound and it seems everyone is serving large meals. For people living with diabetes, healthy holiday eating is essential because proper weight management is very important to maintaining good health. Physicians understand the challenges for diabetics during the holiday season. Fouad R. Kandeel, M.D., Ph.D., director of the City of Hope Gonda Diabetes Center in Los Angeles, says: "In addition to rich foods and holiday stresses, people step out of their usual routines. For individuals with diabetes, this can be an especially challenging time of yeer. Diabetics must maintain vigilance over levels, their meditheir blood-sugcation, their diet and exercise. People living with diabetes can successfully maintain their diets dur ing the holiday season if they take care to adapt traditional recipes to reduce sugar, fats and carbohydrates. Here are two suggested recipes: milk I cup Fee Xoe 4 cups e egg substitute Sugar substitute to equal 4 Tablespoons ofsugar 1 Tablespoon rum extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla ground nutmeg Combine milk, egg substitute, sugar substitute and extract Beat with rotary beater or electric mixer until well blended.
