Nursing Student Chelsey Palmer Earns 鈥淪cholar of the Year鈥 Award

Chelsey Palmer, a soon-to-be graduating nursing student, was recently named one of two 鈥淪cholars of the Year鈥 by the Eastern Ohio Area Health Education Center (AHEC).

Palmer and Youngstown State University student Jake Weber earned the award which recognizes students who are exceptional in their approach, level of engagement, and connecting theory with practice while in the AHEC鈥檚 Scholars Program. It also considers the participant鈥檚 level of mentorship.

The AHEC Scholars Program accepts college students who are in healthcare fields. Palmer first heard about the program when AHEC Center Director Maureen Drummond spoke to one of her classes.

鈥淐onsidering our rigorous nursing curriculum, it sounded like a huge commitment,鈥 Palmer said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an intensive 80 hours of both didactic and experiential learning.鈥

Weighing the commitment and benefits, Palmer and fellow nursing student Tiffany Burwell decided to join. They both interviewed and were accepted. Students typically come from Youngstown State University, so Palmer and Burwell became the first students to participate from 两性色午夜 Trumbull.

鈥淲e are so proud of Chelsey and Tiffany,鈥 said Dr. Daniel Palmer, 两性色午夜 Trumbull鈥檚 interim dean and chief administrative officer, as well as an AHEC board member. 鈥溋叫陨缫 and its regional campuses strive to serve and strengthen our communities. AHEC has been a catalyst for positive healthcare change since it was formed in 1978 and having our students be part of this is an honor.鈥

During the pandemic, they were not able to do many things in person. However, they gained insight into rural and medically underserved communities and were part of conversations to begin problem-solving for the future. One bright side to the pandemic, participants were able to watch real-life events unfold and learn from top infectious disease experts/community leaders about the issues and what they were doing to solve them.

They also learned high-level and marketable skills such as suturing techniques. Palmer joked that when she brought home the suture kit, she told her husband, Michael, that she was waiting for an opportunity to stitch him up.

鈥淭his has been an incredible experience,鈥 Palmer said. 鈥淲hen you graduate from the program, you have met and made connections with decision-makers in the community and learn synergistic approaches to lessen class-inequities and disparities.鈥

Palmer encourages current 两性色午夜 Trumbull nursing students to consider joining AHEC. 鈥淚 would love to see more students from 两性色午夜 Trumbull get involved and I would love to talk more about this incredible program to anyone interested.鈥

Palmer graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing on Saturday, May 15, and recently accepted a position at Mercy Health-St. Joseph Warren Hospital in the progressive intermediate intensive care unit. Before AHEC, she had been applying for positions out of state or a few hours away.

Palmer, a Mathews High School graduate, said AHEC solidified her choice to stay local after graduation. 鈥淲hile completing the program, I wanted more and more to focus my passion on the Mahoning Valley,鈥 Palmer said. 鈥淣ow, I will always have a passion for public health and solving community disparities and inequities. I want to be part of the solution.鈥

Besides being a full-time nursing student and part of the AHEC Scholars Program, Palmer is president of 两性色午夜 Trumbull鈥檚 Undergraduate Student Government, in the Honors College, a member of the University Diversity Action Council, and now she will be on AHEC鈥檚 Advisory Council.
