A new Healthcare and Pre-Med Club has launched at Seattle Prep offering students a unique opportunity to explore the world of medicine and healthcare careers. Just this year, an enlightened group of Seattle Prep students with a common interest, came together to form this incredible new club. Centered around health, this club particularly focuses on the steps to pursuing pre-med in college. Anjali Feider ’28 (Executive), Ashley Huang ’28 (Executive), Roman Chivers ’27 (President), Dhani Widodo ’27 (Vice President), and Sunah Kim ’28 (Executive) worked tirelessly to put this club together, creating this remarkable new education opportunity for other students.
Sunah Kim ’28 shared, “We wanted to create this club to inspire people with similar passions and make an environment where everyone feels welcome.” They hoped to create a safe place for students to express their interests, adding an incredible new club to the diverse variety of student-led clubs at Prep.
Kim also mentioned, “In the club, we hope to give people a new view of medicine and healthcare, maybe even help people gain a better understanding of what they want for their path in life.” The club was made as a chance for students to learn what they can do now, in high school, to prepare for a future in the medical field. They will also teach students how to do basic medical care such as CPR, wound care, and EpiPen use.
“To help students better understand medical specialties, we want to bring in professionals to speak to their experiences” Kim added. To be most beneficial for the students at Prep, Healthcare club plans to bring in Doctors and other medical professionals to speak to what it means to work in the medical field. They would share their experiences and help students get a better understanding of the lives healthcare officials live.
Layla Baker ’28 remarked, “This is such an exciting club, and I am so grateful for the opportunity!” Students are looking forward to this incoming club, with many who have already signed up at the club fair. Their first meeting will take place within the next month or two.
This new Seattle Prep activity is one more incredible form of bringing the Prep community together. Through learning about Health and Pre-med, students can bond while preparing for their future. This amazing opportunity is a blessing to have at Prep and will truly benefit the students and community.
