Description

A student competition is just one way ASHE is engaging young people interested in the health care physical environment. The competition, held at the International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction (PDC Summit) and sponsored by Schneider Electric, is a chance for college students from around the country to work with peers from different colleges. This year, the teams collaborated to address life safety violations at Saint Hypothetical Hospital. Students worked together to create a plan to address deficiencies and prevent violations from occurring in the future, and they presented their plans to a panel of judges. Check out this video about the project. The competition is part of ASHE's outreach to college students as the organization works on succession planning issues. ASHE and Schneider Electric have also teamed up to create an internship program dedicated to the industry. The program will help increase awareness of the health care facility management field among young professionals and create a pool of trained candidates to sustain the future workforce.
