Medical Assisting Students Perform Physicals for Headstart Children

Students from Augusta Tech's Medical Assisting Program were asked to assist with Head Start physicals for 3 and 4 year olds on September 13th at three area school locations. Students performed vision and hearing tests, blood pressure testing, and hemoglobins. Listed below are some photos of our students interacting with the young children.
