Making a difference: High school graduate sets her sights on healthcare industry

Growing up in Medicine Hat, Emma Mourton saw herself becoming a teacher; but in her senior year at Crescent Heights High School those ambitions changed.

With an interest in the sciences, the 19-year-old was curious about the medical field but a fear of needles and seeing blood was holding her back from possible careers in healthcare. As it turned out, she didn’t need to be afraid.

The eight-month Health Care Aide certificate at Medicine Hat College (MHC) provided a short-term opportunity for Emma to test her comfort and suitability in the field, which has since given her a sense of belonging and a deeper purpose.
