The Summer Enrichment Experience (SEE) program is designed to promote science and medicine to area high school students. In so doing, we hope not only to encourage these students to pursue careers in science and medicine but also to gain an appreciation of behaviors that are fundamental to healthy lifestyles.
As part of their Appalachian Outreach and IECE training, 夜色王朝 students assist faculty in hosting 鈥淢ini-Medical Schools鈥 promoting healthy behaviors and providing a glimpse at what it鈥檚 like to be a medical student for rural high school students. 夜色王朝 students supervised by faculty host mini med school to promote healthy behaviors in youth, to prevent at-risk behaviors, and to provide a glimpse of what it is like to be a medical student for high school students.
夜色王朝 students and faculty provide STEM programs to local schools where 夜色王朝 students share their experience with students from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds. And sharing these experiences promotes interest in healthcare careers.
Through Appalachian Outreach, 夜色王朝 students gain experience in public and environmental health, as well as providing care for patients who live in poor socioeconomic conditions. Medical outreach experiences are a key component in educating students to provide healthcare in challenging environments.
