STEAM Saturday: Advanced Mini Med School (9th - 12th Grade)

This course will provide attendees with a glimpse of what medical students learn about the human body at the most fundamental level. The course has been designed to encourage high school aged students to consider an educational pathway to the medical fields by giving learners an introspective look at all 11 systems of the human body.

Students will receive hands on simulation enhanced didactic sessions based on procedural skills in emergency medicine. The students will test their skills and knowledge in a multi-station skills challenge.  Skills include things like compressions, vitals, backboarding and defibrillation.

During this STEAM Saturday course, students will explore different disabilities and the effect on daily life.  On a team, with the guidance of engineers, they students will then design and build assist devices to help with daily activities!
