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.
Commitment to education is a key component of SpecialtyCare’s culture. Through our partnership with PENCIL, we are able to create opportunities for students to explore different specialties within the medical field and prepare them for a future career in healthcare. Simultaneously, this partnership has created opportunities for our own local surgical neurophysiologists to get involved in the community and continue their own professional growth by equipping students with the necessary knowledge to pursue a future in intraoperative neuromonitoring. As an organization, we look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and share our dynamic field with the community!
