| Profile: |
The Capital High School Jr. Medical Reserve Corps is being developed under the Alamogordo Jr. MRC pilot project for implementing a Jr. MRC unit in Northern New Mexico. The purpose of the CHS Jr. MRC is to educate and prepare young adults in the Santa Fe area to be productive members of the local emergency response team, educate their peers and the community at large in how to prepare for emergencies, and act as a model for other possible Jr. MRC units in the Santa Fe, NM. This unit will partner with the AHS Jr. MRC, St. Vincent Hospital, Santa Fe Community College, local emergency management members, and other county agencies to ensure comprehensive preparation for students who will become an integral part of the community disaster response team. All members of the present Health Care Career Pathway program will be active members of the unit. Members will be certified in CPR, as First Responders, then as EMT-Basics through the HST programs of study. Advanced students will become instructors of CPR and First Responders in order to certify their peers in the program. A classroom curriculum is being developed for the Health Science Technology I course that will include disaster management and preparedness training. This first year curriculum will be the foundation of the CHS Jr. MRC program. We believe that high school students will be able to affect and train members of the community that are not readily accessible to or willing to participate with other emergency preparedness teams. This program is part of the HST School Resiliency Pilot Project established through the Alamogordo High School Jr. MRC.
