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.
“We believe it is important to reach out to students in this age group to begin initiation into the health field,” Mitchell said. “Students will have the opportunity to hear from TTUHSC faculty, staff and students about the numerous programs within our various schools.”
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. In addition to the presentations, students will experience hands-on activities for student participation.
