TTUHSC School of Medicine Students Host Minicamp

Fifth graders from Bean Elementary School become doctors for a day. The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Student National Medical Association (SNMA) hosted the Doctors for a Day Minicamp today (Sept. 23).

The mission of the camp was to inspire and inform the elementary students to experience a day in the life of a medical student. Elwin Rutayomba and Yaw Adu, TTUHSC SNMA co-presidents and second-year TTUHSC medical students, said the organization created the event as an interactive and fun way to expose students to the field of medicine.
