The objective of the Future Docs Middle School Program is to provide underrepresented minority middle school students (grades 7-8) the opportunity to explore careers in medicine, graduate biomedical studies, and the health related professions. Students will be given information and resources that will guide and direct them through their high school and undergraduate years of education. It is our hope to keep them focused on a career in the sciences while providing them with mentorship.
Program Information
Future Docs Middle School Program is a four-week (once a week/Saturday) informational and experiential program for students in grades 7-8. Students will have some hands-on experiences in our Anatomy Lab and Clinical Skills Simulation Center. They will have the opportunity to interact with physicians, medical, graduate and health professions students.
