A few weeks ago, students from LSU CPS, LSU CVT, and BPCC RT programs had the incredible opportunity to take part in our annual Willis-Knighton day of discovery.

They got an up-close look at a variety of clinical settings, including the LifeAir helicopter, the ECMO wet lab, and the hyperbaric chamber.

We love introducing our students to the many ways their future professions can intersect with patient care—whether on the ground, in the air, or in specialized therapies.

It was an unforgettable, eye-opening, and educational experience for all!
