Free learning events for middle and high school students
In addition to classroom outreach and campus tours, we hold annual signature events to get youth excited about careers in science, technology, engineering, and math, with an emphasis on their application to the health sciences.
These events are FREE opportunities for students to meet health care providers and students, explore the many different career paths in health care, and learn more about health literacy topics.
Students must attend with a parent, teacher, or guardian present for the duration of the program. Learning opportunities for adults in attendance cover relevant topics like the medical school application process, teen mental health, and more.

I liked seeing people who are successful in what I might want to do.
