Engaging Activities
Students at Harmony Science Academy practicing taking blood pressure.
The TTUHSC School of Medicine’s first partner school has been Harmony Science Academy. After much excitement from both sides, the School of Medicine is looking to expand outreach to other middle schools. Plans are underway to begin – for the 2023-2024 school year – delivering fun, innovative medically-related workshops for students that aim to pique their interest in science and medicine. Medical students will host monthly outreach activities with middle school students exposing them to activities like taking blood pressures, casting, using a stethoscope and answering questions about the medical field.

"Studies have shown that the earlier children are exposed to careers in medicine, the better chance they will have in actually pursuing a degree."
