The Alaska Native Medical Center has been a mentoring program for On the Job Training Students from the King Career Center for 25 years. They have been involved with training and job shadowing our students from Health Occupations, Emergency Medical Technology and Rescue Technology over that time period.

ANMC allows our students access to all departments and some hands-on patient interaction. We have had students in many different departments with the chance to work with some of the best mentors in the medical field. This enables the students to decide, first hand, if their choice of profession is the one that they would like to pursue after graduation from high school. All of the staff at ANMC has been wonderful in dealing with our OJT students. We would like to thank them for taking their time and efforts to teach our students about their specific medical expertise.

The department heads and staff at the Alaska Native Medical Center have been very kind in letting me come int their department and see what it is actually like to be a nurse or doctor. They are very professional and patient, even though they are extremely busy in their every day lives. They always have demands on their time by not only patients, but other family members and other students that they help to train and still find the time to be a mentor.

Casie Williams, Nurse Educator at ANMC

“Casie Williams, Nurse Educator at ANMC has been instrumental in opening many department doors at ANMC and laying the foundation for great professional relations between KCC and ANMC. She is a tireless worker and has a wonderfully positive attitude in dealing with our school programs, our students and the department heads at ANMC. KCC would like to thank her and all of the department heads who continue to make OJT at the Alaska Native Medical Center a wonderful, positive learning experience for our OJT students, the nurses and doctors of the future. I would like to personally thank not only Casie but departments heads and others who help to make OJT at ANMC possible: Kristen Cady in Labor and Delivery, Alice Fay Gibson in Pediatrics, Kathy Vogel in ER, Ed DeForest in Pulmonary/Respiratory Therapy, Doug Munoz in Physical Therapy, Chris Morrison in Oncology, Kathy Belanger in OR/Day Surgery, Dave Brueggemann in Audiology, Ron Deis in Imaging, Samantha Maloney in Dietetics/Nutrition and Rea Bavilla, Program Manager of Education and Development who enables our students to take part in ANMC orientation and helps them to make a smooth transition into hospital life.”
