Or should I say CSI: South CTA?
Check out that elaborate crime scene behind me.
This is part of the Biomedical Science Technologies program, one of nine programs being offered at this new school.
Check it out.
♪♪ This lesson in forensics, part of the Biomedical and Sports Medicine program at South CTA.
(Enzo Corona) The thing that inspired me to go to South CTA was the fact that it was new, and also the program I was looking into was offered here.
-And so Corona... -Bumped her head on the table.
-...and his classmates, some of the more than 450 9th graders in South CTA's history making class, the class of 2029.
-We're setting the tone for our school and building the foundation as other younger students, they come into the school and look at us.
We're the leaders, and we set the example for the school.
-Heading up the Biomed and Sports Medicine program, Mr. Hamburg... (James Todd Hamburg) So our program is unique in that we have a combined program of Biomed and Sports Medicine.
All of my students have to go through the Biomed program so they get the science basis, and then they go through the Sports Medicine program so they get more of a hands-on medical basis.
So they get both combined programs as they go into college.
-...an athletic trainer who brings a wealth of knowledge to the classroom.
-Right there, you're going to come to their feet.
You might measure to the head also.
-Mr. Hamburg started his CCSD career at Northwest CTA.
-Our program at Northwest, we had kids that are pharmacists and physical therapists and athletic trainers, and I have kids in med school all over the country.
And there's a bunch of nurses, different in town, and in dental school.
So whatever field of medicine they choose, this is open for them to go through in this program.
And so it's great.
And we get to see more and more kids stay local and go through, start in high school and then finish here and actually work in the medical field here, which is huge and great for us to have.
-Mr. Hamburg also happens to have another cool job and is the only NFL employee working in the school district.
-He's a concussion spotter, which I thought was really cool, and that he has experience within the field that he's teaching as well.
So when he comes in here and he gives us the information and how it works, it gives us a better understanding of how, like, the career in sports medicine could work.
-Enzo even wants to follow in Mr. Hamburg's footsteps and wants to be an athletic trainer.
-A lot of the other questions you have, I promise we're gonna address as we go through this next month.
Okay?
Are you guys ready for the next group?
-Yep.
-All right.
Let's go.
-CSI: South CTA.
