Description: The Suture Practice Kit Grant will provide Health Science students with hands-on tools to develop essential clinical skills that mirror real-world healthcare experiences. Through guided instruction and realistic simulation, students will learn proper suturing techniques, wound closure methods, and sterile field maintenance-skills vital to careers in nursing, medicine, and allied health professions.
By practicing on suture kits, students can build confidence, precision, and problem-solving skills in a safe, low-risk environment before applying these techniques in clinical settings. This opportunity transforms classroom instruction into an authentic learning experience that bridges theory and practice, preparing students for certification exams and future patient care roles.
This grant aligns with FISD's mission to optimize engagement and ensure the growth of each learner by promoting hands-on, career-focused education. Students gain not only technical proficiency but also critical thinking and teamwork abilities that will serve them in postsecondary programs and the healthcare workforce.
The Suture Practice Kit Grant invests in authentic, career-aligned learning experiences that inspire students to explore, engage, and excel in the field of healthcare.
