HealthNeedsRx is creating a workshop for 7-10th graders to educate them on public health and disparities! We want them to think more critically about the disparities in out healthcare system, as well as gain a better understanding of healthcare and medicine in general. We want to do this by helping them understand why disparities arise, why they persist, examples in the real world, and how we can help. |
This 3-day experience will benefit the students by allowing them to talk with real healthcare professionals, increase their social awareness, improve communication/collaboration skills, and gain a better understanding of the current healthcare system and events. By tangency, these skills could prepare students for a future in medicine, activism, or social work. |
