We were thrilled to welcome several Inova team members to Chantilly Academy this week for our very own Inova Day. Throughout the day, Health and Medical Science students had the opportunity to learn from health professionals from five different Inova departments: Diagnostic Imaging, Neurodiagnostics/Sleep Assessment, Pharmacy Services, Rehab Services (Physical Therapy), and Nursing.
At each station, students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of learning experiences including using candy to practice compounding medication, viewing diagnostic images such as x-rays, and performing a two-minute step test to name a few. Students were also able to ask questions and interact with Inova team members to learn about each of their unique journeys in the healthcare field.
We are extremely grateful to our partners at Inova Health Services for making this event possible for our students. Thank you to each of the Inova departments who participated in Inova Day and the exceptional team members that presented to our students. A special thanks to Nate Mart, Kelsey Karlovich, and Brielle Quinn from Inova's Workforce Development team for making it possible to bring Inova Day to Chantilly Academy!
Last weekend, 13 Health and Medical Science students from Chantilly Academy attended the HOSA State Leadership Conference.

Students competed through a variety of competitions which included presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and exams.
Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the HOSA state competition; we are so proud of how you represented Chantilly Academy. Thank you to Ms. Dowd, our Medical Assistant Instructor and HOSA Advisor, who helped prepare our competitors and accompanied students to SLC!
