TTUHSC President Tedd L. Mitchell, M.D., said this is an opportunity to give middle school students an overview of and interest in health care professions.

Representatives from the schools of allied health sciences, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, will provide insight into their programs currently available in the health field.
