OSTC Northeast Health Science Students Learn Suturing Techniques
Mark Edwards
On January 14, 2025, second-year health science students received hands-on suturing training from Olivia Lord, a physician assistant at Corewell Health in Troy.
Lord demonstrated various suturing techniques, including the vertical, horizontal, and running stitch. Students practiced their skills on pig’s feet, gaining valuable real-world experience.
Lord, who logged clinical hours as a CNA before becoming a PA, emphasized the importance of mentorship and paying her education forward.
