Port Isabel ECHS students Elizabeth Grajales and Saturn Trejo, selected from a consortium of nine rural schools, are participating in the Advanced Clinical Research Institute (ACRI), hosted in partnership with Region One and DHR Health. The program offers immersive, hands-on training in injections, suturing, blood draws, physical exams, wound care, prescription interpretation, pharmacy abbreviations, and vital sign assessment. Students are also learning directly from experienced doctors, surgeons, and medical staff, gaining real-world insights into clinical practice. In addition to clinical training, participants will earn stackable credentials such as Basic Life Support (BLS) and Stop the Bleed, helping them build a strong foundation for future medical certifications. This opportunity reflects Point Isabel ISD’s vision of empowering all students through rigorous, real-world learning experiences that prepare them for college, career, and beyond.
