PENCIL Foundation is a premier organization in Nashville that provides a unique opportunity for Metro Nashville Public School students to job shadow local organizations with the goal of helping students achieve academic success and prepare them for life. As a proud supporter of PENCIL, SpecialtyCare has regularly hosted students from Hillsboro High School’s Academy of Global Health & Science to learn about our Autotransfusion and Minimally Invasive Surgical Support service lines.
Starting in 2018, SpecialtyCare proudly began offering a new shadowing experience within our intraoperative neuromonitoring service line. Through a combined effort, our Nashville IONM Operational Leadership and the IONM Education Team teamed up to create an elite experience for students to actively learn about electrophysiology and participate in a virtual surgical procedure utilizing intraoperative neuromonitoring in our Simulation OR.
