Field Trip

October 20, 2017

The final day of Medical Assistants Recognition Week—open to both daytime and evening students—brings our Medical Assistant students to Manhattan for a trip to the American Museum of Natural History and an exhibit called “Inside You.”

“Did you know that your gastrointestinal tract is home to about 100 trillion bacteria? That’s more organisms than there are stars in the Milky Way!

“Our bodies are home to many trillions of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms collectively called the human microbiome. In any human, microbial genes outnumber the genes in human DNA by more than 100 to one. This new perspective leads us to look at our bodies not just as individuals, but as entire ecosystems.

“Inside You explores the rapidly evolving science that is revolutionizing how we view human health and introduces some of the scientists who are breaking new ground in microbiome research.”

Raffle tickets will be distributed today—and have been every day this week—to all Medical Assistant students. Pocket-size books related to medical assisting are the prizes and will go to three students.

In addition, there will be a drawing for a one-year subscription to CMA Today, magazine of the American Association of Medical Assistants, today.
