Week 1 of the Medical Scholars Program kicked off with an introduction to the program and an exciting week of learning and skill building.
Our scholars explored medical ethics, vital signs, SOAP notes, and a variety of medical specialties while building hands-on skills in knot tying and selecting their Grand Rounds presentation topics.
We wrapped up the week with one of the program’s highlights: Operating Room Orientation. This activity provides scholars with the preparation and confidence to step into the OR and observe live surgical procedures in the weeks ahead.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, these bright students are being challenged to think critically, learn new skills, and step outside their comfort zones. We cannot wait to see how they continue to grow in the coming weeks.
