Students in the Health Science program at Cheatham County Central High School have the opportunity to gain some “real world” health care experience before graduation.

Over the past year, students were able to complete internships at New Hope Veterinary Clinic, Family Health Center of Ashland City (Dr. Scott Brown), Cheatham County EMS, Pleasant View Animal Hospital, TriStar Ashland City Medical Center and with Julie Whittaker, a speech pathologist at West Cheatham Elementary School.

Students also job shadowed Cheatham County school nurses Connie Langley and Melissa Underwood and at Cheatham County Animal Clinic, St. Thomas West, Hillcrest Healthcare Center, Star Physical Therapy and The Waters of Cheatham.
We appreciate those who allowed these interns to gain this valuable experience.

Any facility interested in serving as a possible clinical site for 2020 should contact Kelly Lewis, Cheatham County Central High School’s work based learning coordinator, at kelly.lewis@ccstn.org.
