Students of Shalom
Presidency School participated in the one-day “Bio Connect: Hospital
Exposure Programme” at Medanta Hospital, Sector 38, Gurugram, on 21st
August 2026. The programme offered Class XI and XII Biology students
valuable first-hand exposure to hospital functioning and healthcare practices.
A key highlight was
the Basic Life Support (BLS) session, where students learned essential CPR
techniques and responses to choking emergencies in adults and infants. They
also received practical training in medical and surgical hand hygiene,
understanding its importance in infection control and patient safety.
Students visited the Emergency
Department, Clinical Laboratory, Radiology, Histopathology Lab, and Blood Bank,
gaining insights into triage, emergency care, diagnostic procedures, tissue
processing, blood grouping, and storage.
The visit to the Hospital
Kitchen and Pantry helped students understand the role of dieticians in
planning therapeutic meals, along with food safety, hygiene, storage, and
temperature-control practices.
Conducted under strict
supervision, the programme enabled students to connect Biology concepts with
real-life healthcare applications, while gaining awareness of diverse
careers in medicine and allied healthcare fields. The internship concluded with
a reflection and Q&A session, making Bio Connect a meaningful and
enriching experiential learning opportunity.
