EqHS Blog
This is a collaborative project through the Cooperative Education Program at Gloucester High School in Ottawa, Canada with in-kind support from The Ottawa Hospital.
Created by:
Morolayo Etti and Dr. Jerry M. Maniate
The EqHS Health Spot blog was created by Dr. Jerry Maniate and Rolly Etti for the sole purpose of creating an accessible resource for high school students, broadening the present amount of available knowledge about the health system while allowing a deeper dive into different professions and areas within that system
.The blog is designed particularly for high school students and connects them with health professions learners in colleges and universities as a means of exploring and understanding the health system from this unique vantage point. Using questions from high school students, we interview health professions learners to allow them to share ideas, experiences, and strategies for making an impact.
The EqHS Clarion is a blog was created by Dr. Jerry Maniate and Rolly Etti to capture the ideas and thoughts of equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility (EDIA) leaders and influencers in the health system. We chose the name EqHS Clarion, as it symbolizes the importance and clarity of the message that these individuals are sharing with our broader community and society.
