Welcome to Osseo OEC
OEC is a high school program that teaches junior and senior high school students emergency medical skills. The year-long series of classes cover First Aid, CPR, Responding to Emergencies, First Responder, CPR instructor, and EMT certifications. These classes are available to all students, both those within the district and from outside. Classes are two hours long and build on each other throughout the year. These classes will challenge students, giving them much needed experience if they are headed into the medical world. It is also a great way to test and see if you are interested in the medical field.
OEC is part of Osseo's Health Science Magnet Program. As part of this program, Osseo also offers Human Med science classes, Bioethics, Human Med Health, Certified Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide, and Pharmacy Technician (online).
The OEC program includes unique, intensive opportunities including Fall and Spring camps, State Competition, and providing training and medic coverage for outside groups. For learn all about OEC, please check our About page.

teen lands after-school job with real impact
There aren't too many teenagers who can say their after-school job has real world impact, but 17-year-old Allison Vang can say just that. The Osseo High School senior has parlayed an internship she did last summer with Medtronic into a paid, part-time job with the Fortune 500 company. "I've been coming in and assisting the scientists or the researchers with their experiments here in the lab or [doing] a lot with organizing data," said Vang. Vang, who has an interest in the medical field, was chosen to do a special paid internship at the medical technology company last summer. After working full-time through the summer months, Allison's mentor and senior principal scientist, Cathy Condie, asked her to stay on during the school year. Vang works with Condie and a small group of others who are researching and developing a new generation of heart catheter for patients with irregular heartbeats. "She's incredibly bright in her questions," said Condie about Vang. "Just the presence of a high school student is fun, they bring a different energy to the group, a different perspective, the questions she asks are very insightful and also kind of get us to think differently." It's an incredible opportunity for Vang as well. She hopes to attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities next fall, and she would like to pursue a career in nursing, though she would like to continue doing research as well. "I would like to incorporate more of the working directly with patients and the research side of it. I would love to work with both of those," said Vang. Alexandra Renslo reporting |
