Healthcare Hangout for Teens

Come and join us for this free event, designed specifically to work toward building comfort and ease when visiting a member of the medical community. Medical students from the Medical College will facilitate fun activities and games to teach participants about healthcare!

Half of the session will be planned for social and fun activities and the other half will be some learning center rotations aimed at teaching medical basics combined with a healthy dose of interactive learning opportunities.

The overarching goal of this program is to build confidence and ease for participants when needing to interact with members of the medical community in the future, as well as to practice social interaction with a diverse group of people.

The more we can help our teens get comfortable with their medical health and the professionals that assist in their care, the better advocates they will be for their future.

Parents can stay on campus or hangout nearby. Call us if you have questions.

*Note to parents: If your child has dietary restrictions, please provide an alternate snack for them to eat.
